Years of upheaval in the media space have taken their toll globally.

It is part of the 2024 World News Day which is held on 28 September and is supported by 800 partners globally and is a blueprint of collaborations to come. #choosetruth #journalismmatters #worldnewsday Journalism helped save South Africa. Now we need your support. Become a Maverick Insider member for whatever amount you choose.
