Changing Media in a Changing South Africa

Chapter 11 in The Press and Apartheid, 1984, pp 262-287 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The Republic of South Africa, with its deep divisions and racial tensions, is in the early 1980s a dynamic and changing society. Among the black majority, the powerful influences of demographic change, increasing urbanization, continued industrialization, rising personal income, and spreading education and literacy are affecting all facets of the society, including mass communication. The press and other media, quite independently of the pressures from the Nationalist government, have been undergoing far-reaching modifications in their content, the nature and size of their audiences, and their relationships with each other.
