Press Council hearings off to vibrant start
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The State of Journalism in South Africa; it’s a huge topic, and one that inspires much debate, and not just among members of the ANC and government.

The Press Council of South Africa started a series of public engagements today that will allow interested parties to make submissions. The Press Council of S’s public hearings are part of a review of its system.

“We invite anyone who would like to give oral input on ways to improve and strengthen the SA Press Code, the Press Ombudsman’s complaints procedures and the Constitution of the Press Council,” the invitation states

Day one, taking place in Johannesburg, has the social networks talking, with a vibrant Twitter feed from a number of sources posting updates. To follow, search #pcph and #mmza

@MandylDewaal: Govenden says the press chases sensationalism instead of focussing on excellence in journalism and this is weakinging our democracy.

@MediaMattersZA: Thloloe: About 700 publications part of the Press Council, meaning all major publications are part thereof #pcph

@ShaunMMS: Ombud asks what sort of punishment should be ushered to newspaper in case of violation? #pcph #mmza

@ShaunMMS: On behalf of #MMA Hinton requests Council to take children submission seriously #pcph #mmza

@MediaMattersZA Thloloe: We are trying to get ordinary South Africans to be part of this review process #pcph
