This dominance often results in a biased portrayal of BRICS+ nations, focusing on negative aspects while underrepresenting their positive economic, social, and geopolitical contributions.
Consequently, BRICS+ countries face significant limitations in accessing and creating media platforms that can elevate their achievements and perspectives to a global audience.
