Beschreibung:
Glenda Daniels is a journalist in South Africa and has worked at Amabhungane ( the Mail & Guardian Centre for Investigative Journalism), Right2Know and the Wits Journalism School.
This is a penetrating and critical scrutiny of the ANC's treatment of the print media since the inception of democracy in 1994. Glenda Daniels does not hide behind a veil of detachment, but instead makes a passionate argument for the view that newspapers and journalists play a significant role in the deepening of democratic principles. Daniels' study goes to the heart of current debates and asks why the ANC is so ambivalent about the freedom of the media.
