One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

African oral and traditional communication (ora-media)

African oral and traditional communication, often called ora-media, refers to indigenous ways African societies create, store, and transmit information before and alongside modern mass media. For exam success, you must master its forms, features, functions, strengths, and limits, because this topic explains how communication is rooted in community life, culture, authority, and shared symbols.
