“In South Africa we are comparatively lucky. We rank around 31st in the world for media freedom. If you consider where we come from this is pretty amazing. There is a lot we can and should very positive about.” William Bird, Director – Media Monitoring Africa
“Of course part of the beauty of media freedom is to consider what we a new democracy we are it’s essential that the freedoms we fought so hard for are retained and that we protect them. At the same time this is a crisis period for the media for journalism the world over. Journalists are expected to do more and more with less.” William Bird, Director – Media Monitoring Africa
