6 Jan 2015 My nerve reserve but its been quite a week - and Independent Newspaper has seldom been out of the spotlight, from the controversy around a pic shared on social media of two top executives attending the ANCs big Cape Town rally wearing ANC merchandise to columnist Max du Preez dropping the group. (As David Bullard said on Twitter: Columnist sacks paper. Respect.) Its all in Grubstreets posts, below, while there is also a very interesting piece - full of excellent tips - by Contributoria editor and co-founder on what shes learned about crowd-sourcing journalism. This is a great option for freelance hacks in SA for stories for which they can’t raise interest among SA’s news editors (and we all know that newspapers are slashing their contributors’ budgets). Watch out next week for a piece on whats up with the various media houses internships and cadet schools and what Wazimap offers SA media peeps. This week we started including the Daily Sun and the Daily Voice in the daily front pages post. We had a few hiccups but these should be ironed out next week. Have a lekker weekend!
