Media

Mail & Guardian, Africa’s first online newspaper,
has a
story
on how new media will help tell African stories.
When culture meets media, interesting things
happen. A provincial premier gets pictured in bed;
a bunch of fortysomething journos stage a reunion;
and innovative publishing technology gets deployed.
It's festival time in Grahamstown again -- the 30th
edition of an event that's always like a first
time. It is made possible by, among others, a
healthy grant from the Eastern Cape government,
whose Premier Nosima Balindlela was previously the
province's arts and culture minister.
