Fake news, cyber bullying a rising concern for Sanef
KwaZulu-Natal judge president Achmat Jappie has told the annual general meeting of the South African National Editors' Forum that it is the media and judiciary's responsibility to safeguard South Africa's open democracy, with an emphasis on the information disseminated to citizens and the government. The AGM discussions comprised the so-called threat of fake news, cyber bulling, and physical threats to journalists.
Following death threats received by investigative journalists Sipho Masondo of the City Press and Mzilikazi wa Afrika of the Sunday Times in recent months, Sanef has encouraged journalists to report online and physical abuse and harassment to @SAEditorsForum via Twitter, by contacting the Sanef office, or through their title editors.
