Saffer wins World Press Photo of the Year 2010 Congratulations go to South African photographer Jodi Bieber, who was announced on Friday, 11 February 2011, as the winner of the 2010 World Press Photo of the Year. She has previously won eight World Press Photo awards and is only the second South African photographer to win the highest honour in this contest.In other news, there's been a huge stink caused by the DA's blacklisting of a journalist after the political party has been championing South African media freedom. There's also a huge furore over the Sunday Times and Times Live, through misleading headlines and posters, misquoting/misrepresenting U2 frontman Bono's stance with respect to the singing of struggle songs and Malema and "Shoot the Boer" and resulting in international media coverage also getting the wrong end of the stick. All of this, it can be argued, does not bode well when it comes to preventing the ANC from imposing a media appeals tribunal on South Africa's media, and it comes at a time when the Press Council of South Africa is about to begin holding a series of public hearings countrywide over the next few weeks. Starting this Thursday and Friday, 17 and 18 February, at Wits University in Johannesburg, the council invites the public to discuss the review of its press code, complaints procedure, constitutions and the role of the press ombudsman in South Africa's print media. Public meetings will also be held in Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth and Bloemfontein throughout late February and early March. It's a real pity that that the Cape Town leg happens to coincide with one day of the Design Indaba conference (can you believe it's Design Indaba next week?). It's also Mobile World Congress time again in Barcelona, Spain, and we've created a Twitterfall to track South Africans attending this event. Feel free to let us know whom else should be added to our Twitter list. Talking about time, last night in Johannesburg it was showtime for U2 and its 360o tour - the very first rock concert to be held at FNB Stadium aka Soccer City since the 2010 FIFA World Cup. And boy oh boy does the stadium work incredibly well as a concert venue (let's not talk about the travel and food logistics, though)! I can't wait until the Gautrain is fully functional and I can catch a Gautrain bus to the Rosebank Gautrain station to take the Gautrain to Park Station and then the Metro Rail to just outside the stadium. Lastly, as promised, a 1.53MB, 97-pages-long pdf collating all of the Biz 2011 Trends pieces in one place is finally available for download! Happy (overly commercial) Valentine's Day!

Special focus on media freedomSouth African Press Council hearings to start amid poisoned air [Julie Reid] Next week in Johannesburg, the Press Council of South Africa will begin the first of a series of nationwide public hearings to discuss reforming media self-regulation. But will the media's concerns be heeded, or will the hearings just create the illusion of participation, with the media appeals tribunal ultimately going ahead anyway?

Sadly, reality's far from the case. In fact, the name has a disturbing undertone - it's not unfair to read it as an oxymoron. On the ground, journalists in Africa find themselves working in overwhelmingly unfree conditions. And the situation is rapidly deteriorating. Read more >>Free African Media: A dream we should all work to fulfil [Branko Brkic: @brankobrkic] As we chronicle how the brave people of Egypt and Tunisia fight to win their basic freedoms for the first time, the rest of Africa looks to be sliding back into the ever-tightening rule of Big Men. The question is, what will we do about it? What will we do to make sure Free African Media is a reality?

In a country where advertising agencies are also "black-owned", can we really reduce the argument to the politics of colour in the advertising industry or is it just a matter of creative freedom being a loaded gun?

Bono, Malema and the headlines that stirred all the rage [Mandy de Waal: @mandyldewaal] U2 frontman Bono was the target of wide-scale derision this weekend after a story about him apparently supporting Julius Malema and that infamous "shoot the boer" liberation song flamed across South Africa - and then circled the globe. But as the world's most famous Irish band took to the stage at FNB Stadium, music journalists stepped forward to say Bono had been horribly misquoted by the media.
