New Age dawns: editor reiterates independence, support for government

[Issa Sikiti da Silva] Rocked by mass editorial resignations and allegations of iron-fist management and lack of logistics, which twice postponed its launch this year, and criticised for being an ANC-led government mouthpiece, The New Age daily newspaper finally hit the newsstands yesterday, Monday, 6 December 2010. Editor Henry Jeffreys launched a scathing attack on the media for suggesting his publication is the New Agent, insisting it remains independent but supports the government of the day. 7 Dec 2010 09:54
