Chapter 4 in The Press and Apartheid, 1984, pp 76-101 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Underlying the continuing controversy over the Press Council has been one persistent policy of the Nationalists: to bend the English press to its will, to find a way to make it conform to the concerns, and even the world view, of the ruling Afrikaners. Nationalist prime ministers from Malan to Vorster have sought to “discipline” the pesky opposition newspapers into being “responsible.”
