- Crime according to Beeld: Fear in Black and White
-
Extreme news sells. Items that are different from everyday life, items that disturb people. Crime is therefore a good subject for newspapers’ front pages from a commercial point of view. Unfortunately, crime in South Africa is not just a creation of the national media. It is a very real problem. And although most statistics suggest decreasing figures, some specific forms of criminality have become more common.

- Media Monitoring in Rwanda
-
The Rwandan Media Monitoring Project was established by the High Council of the Press in 2003 to monitor media coverage of that year’s elections in Rwanda. The desire to monitor the media was stimulated by pending presidential and parliamentary elections and the High Council of the Press’ mission of ensuring that political parties and associations of political interest equitably share airtime in the public media. The High Council of the Press also wished to closely monitor professionalism in the Rwandan media with regard to respect of the media law and the code of ethics.
