No smiles thanks to Sowetan, dammit So here's the breakfast show on 94.7 Highveld Stereo, the Breakfast Xpress, trying its best to make the City of Joburg smile with its hairnets of colourful fake flowers on trees down William Nicol Drive and Atlas Road, when along comes Sowetan Live with a column by Eric Miyeni that should never have been published, dammit. Once again, Avusa's editorial controls have failed; there's opinion and then there's hate speech. How could the sub-editor and editor allow this to be published? Is it juniorisation of the newsroom once again? City Press editor Ferial Haffajee certainly isn't smiling, that's for sure; and publically announced on Twitter not too long ago that she has decided to sue for defamation, "possibly win and put proceeds into bursary for talented young opinionistas. Good end to sorry saga." (See Twitter Search.) Then there's the offensive Tuks FM breakfast blog post that was removed but the station has not apologised for it, although the university has found the incident "regrettable"... What were they thinking? Simone Puterman ( @SimoneBiz) Managing editorPS Don't forget to listen to the latest Biz Takeouts podcast from the Bizcommunity.com/Chai FM Media & Marketing radio show. PPS The latest Ornico Ad Showcase features TV ads for BMW Series 6 Coupé, Spur, McDonald's, Redd's and Allan Gray, and radio ads for SABC News, Savanna, Vawter, Santam and Vodacom.

 [Chris Moerdyk: @chrismoerdyk] The old adage about "all publicity being good publicity" is proving itself to be chillingly true as far as Julius Malema is concerned. Whether he realises it or not, if one looks at what is happening right now from a dispassionate, objective, marketing point of view, he is succeeding quite spectacularly with each and every one of his objectives. Read more >>
 NEWSWATCH: The ANCYL says it cannot imagine why Malema's trust fund was described as a "secret fund" and has some questions for City Press, reports Politics Web and says the paper's reporters are "puppets", according to News24.com. Meanwhile Johann Rupert (whose family is accused of being shareholders in Media24, owners of City Press and Rapport) has likened the ANCYL to an irritating mosquito, writes Times Live, and is "surprised" that the ANC would allow its youth wing to attack him, according to Business Live.

 [Matt Rose] Recently an article by Farrah Bostic, objecting to the over-inflated status of the word "insight" when it comes to advertising planning, really inspired me.

 [Gill Moodie: @grubstreetSA] I have a friend who was interviewed recently by a reporter from one of Independent Newspapers' titles and he said he spent some effort in fending off what he perceived as leading questions.
