...best ways is through cartoons. Their appeal is universal." When you think about the $75 billion global animation industry, what comes to mind is the stunning computer-graphic magic of Pixar or the irony-laced wit of The Simpsons, not an obscure little outfit in sub-Saharan Africa. But Pictoon - a cartoon company formed in 1998 by Sauvalie, a French-Cameroonian graduate of the renowned Les Gobelins animation school in Paris, and Senegalese businesswoman Aida Ndiaye, once the local agent for Xerox office machinery - wants to make Africa a cartoon hub for the world.

...Around him the paper's most senior production editors - a team known as the backbench - are assessing the last few pieces filed for tomorrow's paper by journalists from Cairns, Canberra or a few desks away, "tasting" them for tone and logic before flicking them over to the news sub-editors. Words must be cut, queried, inserted or rearranged. Headlines must sing and sentences gleam. Or as much as is possible before the deadline pounces. "Page one ? page four ? page three can go," Dore shouts, as the completed stories are slotted one after another into waiting layouts...
