SANEF perturbed by job losses in the media industry
14 May 2019
The South African National Editors' Forum (SANEF) is perturbed about the continued job losses in the media industry.
This time, Tiso Blackstar has announced that the tabloid newspaper Sunday World will be shut down and that they will be retrenching staff across a number of its publications including the Sowetan, Business Day, The Herald and Daily Dispatch.
In the past two years, scores of journalists lost their jobs due to retrenchments by Tiso Blackstar, Media24, Independent Media and the shutdown of Afro Worldview, previously known as ANN7, by Multichoice.
Titles like The Times and HuffPost SA were closed, which diminished the diversity of voices in South Africa.
