By: Simone Puterman

NEWSWATCH: The country's oldest newspaper, Grahamstown'sGrocott's Mail, is planning on taking Government to court in protest against the local city council's refusal to place advertising because “Grocott's is a launching pad to throw missiles against the leadership of the municipality and the ANC,” according to Patrick Ntshiba, a Makana councillor, as blogged by former editor Jonathan Ancer on Thought Leader.

The SA Blogs Awards is once again in the firing line over lack of clarity in the nominations process, categories, incorrect placements and communications, as well as the fact that the judges have not yet been announced, according to blogger Justin Hartman.
