Election coverage for Tuesday 7th April was overwhelmingly focused on the NPA’s decision to drop the charges against Jacob Zuma and the reaction from various people. Not only were these stories prominently covered, but in most newspapers, they filled a majority of news coverage (as opposed to sport, entertainment or business). The exception to this pattern was the Daily Sun, who still gave unprecedented coverage to this political story as election stories have not been widely covered in the paper.
All monitored media devoted their editorial space to commentary on the announcement (including a front page editorial by the Daily Sun). Newspapers also covered the story from various angles, getting reactions from ‘people on the street’, Zuma supporters, opposition parties and political analysts. There was substantial analysis devoted to the issue. Television news also covered the story fully, including reactions from Zuma, in addition to analysts, opposition parties and ANC supporters.
A comparison of the front page of The Citizen to that of the Daily Sun illustrates the reaction of media to this decision. These mediums have been chosen to point to the overall trend, not to single them out for any particular practice (and they offer a very graphical contrast).
