Public meeting: Je Suis Charlie?
The aftermath of the recent horrific murders of media workers in France have raised difficult but important questions about the challenges and place of media freedom in the context of social and political polarization and unequal power. These questions resonate in South Africa where we grapple with the value of freedom of expression, the right to dignity, and the urgent need for a frank and honest social dialogue in the context of massive inequality, racism, faltering social cohesion, increased repression, and an untransformed media.
In discussion:
- Farid Sayed, Muslim Views editor
- Brandan Reynolds, Argus cartoonist
- Terry Bell, Journalist
- Zubeida Jaffer, Media veteran
- Ncedisa Nkonyeni Okuhle Media (tbc)
