Newspapers Should Give Progressive Activists a Fair Chance to Get Published
Are newspapers receptive to civil society voices? I argue that in my experience newspapers need to do much more to provide a voice to civil society.
For more clips visit SACSIS. The organisers have captured the essence of the engagement as follows:
SACSIS and the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung South Africa Office. The roundtable examined the media’s perspective of the South African economy.Other media speakers at the event included, Nic Dawes (Editor in Chief, Mail & Guardian), Alide Dasnois (Editor, Cape Times) and Reg Rumney (Head of the Centre for Economics Journalism in Africa, Rhodes University). Editors were asked to answer the following questions: Is the economy on the right growth path? What are the prospects for making it more inclusive? How does the media report on the economy? Does the media have a vision for South Africa’s economic development?
(Still a little strange to be posting clips of myself online.)
