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.
