The shootout: City Press vs Sunday Times

[Mandy de Waal] The Sunday Times is getting fat and dominates the Sunday print market, but that doesn't mean it can become complacent. Media24 knows a thing or two about the online space, and it has the resources to give Avusa a wake-up call.

SA investigative greats: Secrecy Bill will not silence us

[Mandy de Waal] "If you think we're going to curl up and die, think again." That's the strong message this country's top investigative journalists sent ANC MPs who voted in favour of the Protection of Information Bill in Parliament. The local muckrakers said the bill was designed to intimidate whistleblowers and insider sources so as to make investigative journalism even tougher, if not more dangerous.

Deon du Plessis: a man truly larger than life goes on great sabbatical in sky

[Mandy de Waal] The white hyena, the gun-loving boer, that great newspaper man who gave South Africa's blue-collared hordes news worth reading, is no more. In his place a giant of a legacy - a tabloid every flailing newspaper's trying to copy in a sector where the Daily Sun remains unrivaled.

Fine film-making, clever marketing set to make Jock top dog

[Mandy de Waal] The countdown has begun for the premier of "Jock", the huge-hearted, animated family film that rolls out the red carpet in two weeks. Percy FitzPatrick's classic story of the legendary Lowveld canine icon, Jock of the Bushveld, is now a plucky movie that isn't dependent on local box-office takings for financial success. What's more, it could give the local animation industry serious global bite and help set SA up as a hub for this burgeoning film sector.

Manyi vs the media: the ad budget battle begins

[Mandy de Waal] Media people shook their heads in disbelief when government spokesman Jimmy Manyi laid out his rules for media outlets to receive slices of government's advertising cake.

[Mandy de Waal] Henry Jeffreys, The New Age's editor until Tuesday, 31 May 2011, is headed back to the Cape for a quieter life filled with writing books, columns and completing his masters' degree.

His Master's Voice and the perennial question of SABC bias

[Mandy de Waal] The DA's at the SABC's throat, citing bias after the public broadcaster gave the ruling party live coverage for the ANC's final Siyanqoba rally on Sunday, days before voters go to the polls. The SABC, of course, says the DA's talking nonsense. The law says electoral coverage should be equitable, but is vague enough to make deciding what is equitable fairly malleable. And yes, we've heard this all before.
