    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.
