Description
South African journalism has been fortunate in recent decades to have editors, writers and practitioners of the highest order working within its ranks. Some, such as radio talk show host John Perlman and cartoonist Zapiro, are household names. Others are less well-known, but work quietly and effectively behind the scenes, bringing years of experience and skill to bear on their art. Until the publication of this book, few have taken the time to sit down and spell out the dos and don'ts of their particular speciality, often gained over a lifetime of trial and error. The book, brought to you by the Human Sciences Research Council, is a celebration of excellence. Whether the reader is intent on becoming a professional journalist, is already working as one, or merely wants to know what South Africa's most respected journalists have to say about their work, this book will be of interest. Covering a wide range of topics in the diverse, global media business, the writers of this collection present an accessible and fascinating insight into the art of journalism and what it takes to aspire to excellence.
