Total votes 993

“Communication by national, provincial and local government in response to the spate of what has become known as the ‘Xenophobia violence' has been nothing short of pointless and pathetic,” writes Chris Moerdyk, marketing and media analyst and Bizcommunity.com columnist, today, Thursday, 22 May 2008, and foreign media analysts have accused the South African Government of not cooperating with the media, nor knowing how the media operates, reports Issa Sikiti Da Silva from the International Media Forum South Africa, currently taking place in Bryanston, Johannesburg. “...[S]ome analysts believe that bragging about press freedom is not enough, and thus calling on the SA government to do more to improve its communication with the press if it wants to stay relevant and active in a society it operates” he writes. What is your opinion?
