I am equally grateful to individuals who gave their input through feedback as I progressed with the study and to all who made themselves available for interviews and gave me access to necessary data for the purpose of this research. I gratefully acknowledge my sponsor, Thomson Reuters, for offering me an opportunity to further my education. To my wonderful family and friends, I say thank you for your unconditional love and support. I am especially grateful to my brother Daniel Kumwenda, his wife Agnes and their lovely boys Christian and Melvin, for the unwavering support and inspiration. ii Abstract Press self-regulation has provoked debate and drawn criticism in South Africa since the practice was started over four decades ago following threats of statutory regulation. The practice has gone through various permutations to suit prevailing social and political environments in the country. Focusing on the press ombudsman system as a case study, this research examines the functioning and transformation of press self-regulation in response to the changing media landscape in a democratic South Africa. The research utilises social responsibility theory of the press to provide a theoretical understanding on the need for the press to be self-regulatory. Document analysis and in-depth interviews are the main data collection methods utilised in the study. Using thematic content analysis, the study then draws on themes emerging from the findings to address the research question. The findings show that people from across the range in South Africa utilise the system, albeit to varying extents, and that the system has fairly handled complaints with rulings evenly going for and against the press. The findings also show that through amendments to the Press Code and procedures for handling complaints, the press self-regulatory mechanism has transformed mainly owing to democratic constitutional and legal requirements and public expectations. However, the system has been resistant to some of the criticism, hence there still remains public and political pressure for the system to address the concerns. iii 1. Introduction The media in South Africa has experienced remarkable transformation since the end of the apartheid era with regard to ownership, staffing, content, audiences and notions on the role of the media (Berger, 2000).

    BLURRED LINES: HOW SOUTH AFRICA’S INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM HAS CHANGED WITH A NEW DEMOCRACY AND EVOLVING COMMUNICATION TOOLS Zoe Schaver The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Media and Journalism Advised by: __________________________ Chris Roush __________________________ Paul O’Connor __________________________ Jock Lauterer BLURRED LINES 1 ABSTRACT South Africa’s developing democracy, along with globalization and advances in technology, have created a confusing and chaotic environment for the country’s journalists. This research paper provides an overview of the history of the South African press, particularly the “alternative” press, since the early 1900s until 1994, when democracy came to South Africa. Through an in-depth analysis of the African National Congress’s relationship with the press, the commercialization of the press and new developments in technology and news accessibility over the past two decades, the paper goes on to argue that while journalists have been distracted by heated debates within the media and the government about press freedom, and while South African media companies have aggressively cut costs and focused on urban areas, the South African press has lost touch with ordinary South Africans — especially historically disadvantaged South Africans, who are still struggling and who most need representation in news coverage.

  • We Were Cut Off from the Comprehension of Our Surroundings
    Black Peril, White Fear – Representations of Violence and Race in South Africa’s English Press, 1976-2002, and Their Influence on Public Opinion Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität zu Köln vorgelegt von Christine Ullmann Institut für Völkerkunde Universität zu Köln Köln, Mai 2005 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The work presented here is the result of years of research, writing, re-writing and editing. It was a long time in the making, and may not have been completed at all had it not been for the support of a great number of people, all of whom have my deep appreciation. In particular, I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Michael Bollig, Prof. Dr. Richard Janney, Dr. Melanie Moll, Professor Keyan Tomaselli, Professor Ruth Teer-Tomaselli, and Prof. Dr. Teun A. van Dijk for their help, encouragement, and constructive criticism. My special thanks to Dr Petr Skalník for his unflinching support and encouraging supervision, and to Mark Loftus for his proof-reading and help with all language issues. I am equally grateful to all who welcomed me to South Africa and dedicated their time, knowledge and effort to helping me. The warmth and support I received was incredible. Special thanks to the Burch family for their help settling in, and my dear friend in George for showing me the nature of determination. Finally, without the unstinting support of my two colleagues, Angelika Kitzmantel and Silke Olig, and the moral and financial backing of my family, I would surely have despaired. Thank you all for being there for me. We were cut off from the comprehension of our surroundings; we glided past like phantoms, wondering and secretly appalled, as sane men would be before an enthusiastic outbreak in a madhouse.

  • How Die Burger Newspaper Developed from Print to Digital Within a Century
    How Die Burger Newspaper developed from print to digital within a century On the 18th of December 1914 in a Victorian style house named Heemstede, sixteen South African citizens established De Nationale Pers Beperkt better known as Naspers and Media24 today. This leads to the creating of the first edition of De Burger Newspaper on the 26th of July 1915. On the 12th of May 1915 De Nationale Pers Beperkt in Cape Town was registered under the Maatschappijenwet of 1892. The “Akte van Oprichting” were compiled at 22 Wale Street and Keeromstraat 30 became Naspers’ first address. Die Burger Newspaper was since its origin on 26 July 1915 a non profitable company. In 1928 the distribution of dividends became a reality. Willie Hofmeyr managed Naspers and established Santam and Sanlam in 1918 Today Media24 News publishes more than 90 titles and about 294,6 Million newspapers annually The weekly urban Newspapers have a strong market penetration and a circulation of about 974 000 per week, while the community newspapers’ circulation amounts to about 2 million a week. Naspers currently have 22031976 unique browsers over 90 newspapers and 60 magazines. Paul Jones, circulation manager confirms that Die Burger currently supply newspaper copies to 95 libraries in the WC and EC. We also working with the SBA we annually send 60,000 newspapers to 209 schools in the Western Cape. Our “ Leer en Presteer” appendix has recently ended in the Eastern Cape and we have distributed 24,000 newspapers to schools in the Eastern Cape . Preservation Each month the original copies of Die Burger were combined into bundles and covered with hard covers by the National Library of Southern Africa in Cape Town.
