October 19 will always be marked off on the calendars of journalists around the country.
This day commemorates Black Wednesday or National Press Freedom Day, and Media Monitoring Africa hosted a three-day media festival to tackle media-related issues in South Africa.
Media Monitoring’s programme manager and researcher Lister Namumba said in her presentation that South Africa ranked 35 in the press freedom index.
