Changing the Fourth Estate: Essays on South African Journalism

by Adrian Hadland (Editor)

This compilation of personal essays by some of South Africa's top journalists explores a range of perspectives within "the fourth estate"—from the editor's chair to the travel writer's airplane seat to the news journalist's foxhole. Virtually every aspect of journalism is addressed, including design, multimedia, ethics, and interview techniques, and advice is interspersed throughout on how the next generation of journalists might advance their craft.
