Blurred Lines
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.

How the City of Bloemfontein Did the Tango Alone in the Inner City Renewal Project
Potgieter, PJ & Steyn, JJ Bloemfontein CBD Masterplan Project 43rd ISOCARP Congress 2007 How the City of Bloemfontein did the tango alone in the Inner City Renewal Project 1. Introduction Since the founding of Bloemfontein in 1846 development has taken place around a market square area which later became known as the Central Business District (CBD). The study of the inner city was done on request by the Mangaung Local Municipality (MLM) and was based on data obtained for a previous study (1983). After a scientific delineation study which proved that due to changed circumstances in the inner city (CBD) the boundary was extended and a comprehensive land use plan for the area drawn up. Figure 1: New delineation for the CBD Masterplan Project Source: Potgieter & Steyn, 2005. This comprehensive land use plan was the culmination of the efforts of a number of people in various disciplines which made up a consortium. The aim of the study was to deliver a product which would enable the Council “to arrive at processes and projects with which the central business district of Bloemfontein can be upgraded to a semblance of its former splendour, is in fact a collection of a number of distinct deliverables.” (Potgieter & Steyn, 2005, 1) One of the main requirements for success of the study was stipulated in the second part of the study’s purpose which read as follows: “It is however important to note that all of the planning endeavours should be in total harmony with each other to ultimately arrive at a single vision for an upgraded CBD.” (Potgieter & Steyn, 2005, 1) However, this study will show to what extent public participation was manipulated by Council in order to get a quick plan before the election and how the planning profession lost against political power. -
The Impact of Supporter Experience at the Jonsson Kings Park Stadium on the Sharks Brand
The impact of supporter experience at the Jonsson Kings Park Stadium on The Sharks brand By Robyn Wheeler (15017776) Research Methodology Subject code: RESM8419 Supervisor: Gareth Gray Honours in the Bachelor of Arts in Strategic Brand Communications Word count: 11754 words I hereby declare that the Research Report submitter for the Honors in Strategic Brand Communication degree to The Independent Institute of Education is my own work and has not previously been submitted to another University or Higher Education Institution for degree purposes. Abstract 1 This small-scaled study reviewed supporters experiences within a sports stadium and their impact on a brand. The research specifically is centred around The Sharks brand and the Jonsson Kings Park Stadium, the home stadium of The Sharks rugby team. Rugby is a competitive sport that participates within South Africa’s heritage. This generated from the existence and the attendance to the home stadium of The Sharks. Attenders to the stadium have been declining due to supporters reducing their purchases of the stadium tickets. This study reviews themes that are common to sport stadiums that have suffered within similar scenarios. The information gathered in this study was accumulated through a qualitative approach. This would allow for flexibility of revealing deep insights during the entire primary research. The methodology of research performed involved focus groups and an online survey. The insights received from this, directed meaningful findings and recommendations that aspires to assist The Sharks by providing useful data to increase attenders to the stadium. It was concluded through the research that supporters do not value the stadium experience. -

Falling and Rising in the Wake of Cecil John Rhodes Tamar Garb
Falling and Rising In the Wake of Cecil John Rhodes Tamar Garb One spectacular event, many competing images. On the April 9, 2015, the University of Cape Town (UCT) enabled the removal of its most contentious public monument, the statue of Cecil John Rhodes, one-time prime minister of the Cape Colony (1890–96), arch imperialist, benefactor of the university’s estate, and protagonist of white supremacy.1 Both veteran documentary photographer David Goldblatt and emerging performance/visual artist Sethembile Msezane were there to witness the scene. As their images testify, they were not alone. Equipped with mobile phones and iPads, hundreds of onlookers attended the auspicious unseating, stretching their arms heavenward as if saluting or hailing history rather than merely capturing its symbolic passage. Figs 1, 2 Goldblatt’s and Msezane’s iconic photographs are particularly notable for capturing alternative views of an ongoing, sometimes bitter, argument. Despite the formal, aesthetic, and affective differences between these two photographs, the proliferation of handheld devices of recordkeeping and personal testimony that frame the scene are shared, providing the contemporary context for the newsworthy spectacle, democratized dissemination, and embodied experience that the scene of removal represents. Not only is it meaningful that the controversial, now visibly diminished, statue was taken down, but the public manner and individuated mediation/consumption of its removal makes the event significant at both a subjective and social level. -

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. -
Playing by FIFA's Rules: the Politics and Potential
Playing by FIFA’s Rules: The Politics and Potential Legacy of Port Elizabeth’s Hosting 2010 World Cup Matches Abstract Port Elizabeth was the first South African city to complete construction of a brand new venue to host 2010 FIFA World Cup matches. The metropolitan authority backed by the private sector hopes this spectacular event will change the city‟s Cinderella status and transform it into a “winning city”. However, meeting FIFA‟s requirements has many pitfalls. The escalating cost of the stadium has contributed to the metropole‟s budget shortfall thereby hindering its own service delivery obligations. Long-term developmental goals will be sacrificed for the sake of enhancing the city‟s image. Consequently, the legacy of the World Cup will be economically uneven and politically fractious. 8.447 mots, 54.472 signes (espaces et note en bas page inclus) Playing by FIFA’s Rules: The Politics and Potential Legacy of Port Elizabeth’s Hosting 2010 World Cup Matches The 2010 Fédération International de Football Association (FIFA) World Cup is billed as the largest sporting event ever held on South African soil. The spectacle will dwarf the Rugby and Cricket World Cups held in 1995 and 2003, respectively, in terms of the size of live and television audiences, the scale of advertising and sponsorship deals, as well as the amount of government investment in infrastructure. The staging of such mega-events confirms the African National Congress government‟s embrace of neo-liberalism for it reiterates the country‟s place within the world of economic globalisation. FIFA operates within this trade/tourism nexus and the 2010 World Cup will be a “mega-event” in every sense of the word. -
