On this edition of Independent Sources, we begin our two-part special called "Enter West Africa". On this edition we focus on Ghana. We see how pirated wax prints from China are affecting the country's local economy. We talk about how clothes donated from Europe and America are big industry in Ghana. We learn what a rash of grave robberies in the country have to do with a new fashion trend. Then, we find out a little more about New York City's Ghanaian community. Taped 03-14-2012 Independent Sources is where viewers meet the ethnic press. IS engages journalists from New York's ethnic and mainstream media in an insightful discussion of stories covered by ethnic newspapers, TV and radio stations and websites.
