"Journalism’s crisis is being subsumed by a broader threat of a collapse of information integrity – or knowing what information is accurate, real, credible, reliable and transparent."
www.dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/...

World News Day — we need an information system that works for all

Whether you are a fan of guns, Charlie Kirk, Trump, Israel or Palestine. Whether you love AfriForum, the MK party, the ANC, DA, EFF, we all need reliable news.
