Studies in the South African Media

Edited by Keyan Tomaselli & Eric Louw

The Alternative Press in South Africa focuses on the history of "black" newspapers from the missionary press, linking the struggles of this press and its editors to contemporary publishing ventures by oppressed communities, trade unions and the student presses. It also offers an historical overview of the black Media Workers Association and its role in questioning conventional newsgathering and reporting.

Keyan Tomaselli is director of the Contemporary Cultural Studies Unit at the University of Natal, the editor of Critical Arts, and author of The Cinema of Apartheid: Race and Class in South African Film.

P. Eric Louw is also a lecturer in the Centre.
