Book Launch of
Tell Our Story. Multiplying Voices in the News Media
The book launch for Tell Our Story. Multiplying Voices in the News Media, was held on 9 September 2020. The launch was hosted online due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The book’s authors, Julie Reid and Dale McKinley speak to the contents and aims of the book: as a means to surface the stories of three different communities from around South Africa, and to highlight how the mainstream or dominant media often ignores such stories and voices. Community leader and Wild Coast anti-mining activist, Nonhle Mbuthuma, responds with her thoughts on the relationship between journalists, the media, and communities in struggle. The launch was moderated by Zukiswa Pikoli, a journalist at Maverick Citizen, which is a platform of the Daily Maverick that focuses on civil society.
