Engaging with the international media

Against the background of a terrifying week of xenaphobic attacks in South African townships, displacing more than 20 000 immigrants from their homes in Gauteng, the International Media Forum in Johannesburg is addressing the issue of SA's image abroad and how to engage with the international media. Bizcommunity.com is blogging and reporting from the event today and tomorrow, 21 - 22 May 2008.
