The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

Troublemakers: the best of South Africa’s investigative journalism edited by Anton Harber and Margaret Renn.

South African journalism has been lambasted from all sides since the country liberated from apartheid in 1994. Critics from the left and the right and journalist themselves, have lamented a lack of accuracy, balance, diversity, independence and ethics in our news media and more generally a failure to deliver on the promise of media freedom enshrined in our constitution. This collection of investigative reporting should sharpen debate over South Africa’s journalism and the role it is playing in this new democracy
