Changing the Fourth Estate: Essays on South African journalism Adrian Hadland (ed.) South African journalism has been fortunate in recent decades to have editors, writers and practitioners of the highest order working within its ranks. Some, like radio talk show host John Perlman and cartoonist Zapiro, are household names. Others are less well-known, but work quietly and effectively behind the scenes, bringing years of experience and skill to bear on their art. Until the publication of this book, few have taken the time to sit down and spell out the do's and don'ts of their particular specialty, gained often after a lifetime of trial and error. 240mm x 168mm 256pp R 140.00 ISBN: 0-7969-2097-4 July 2005 |
