Abstract

His contribution is based on a chapter in a book titled "Public Interest Warriors" to be published soon) and his participation to a panel discussion at The Wits Power Reporting Workshop held in Johannesburg on 4 September 2007. Whenever freedom of the press is debated it seems to be inevitable that the discussion will focus on the relationship between the press and the government of the day. Given the current state of play in South Africa and Zimbabwe this is understandable.
