ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Black journalists in South Africa have played a crucial role in exposing the political oppression of black South Africans during the Apartheid era. In this regard the Sowetan newspaper made a great contribution. However, the political role that black women journalists played at the Sowetan has been ignored, before and after 1994. After 1994, political black women journalists at the Sowetan continued to make strides despite the hostile environment that these women journalists worked in. The limitation of beats and assignments, lack of promotions and many other challenges that black women journalists faced during this period made their work environment unfriendly and hostile towards their performance. This study examines the political role made by black women journalists at the Sowetan newspaper from 1994 to 1999. The study shows how the black women journalists brought different perspectives in news at the Sowetan through their manner of reporting and also how they viewed matters within the context of a new democracy in South Africa. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Swart joernaliste in Suid-Afrika het ’n onontbeerlike rol gespeel in die onthulling van die politieke onderdrukking van swart Suid-Afrikaners tydens die apartheidsjare. In hierdie verband het die Sowetan-koerant ’n groot bydrae gelewer. Die politieke rol van swart vrouejoernaliste by die Sowetan is egter geïgnoreer, voor en ná 1994. Ná 1994 het politieke swart vrouejoernaliste by die Sowetan steeds opgang gemaak, ten spyte van die vyandige omgewing waarin hierdie vroue gewerk het. Beperkte opdragte en spesialisonderwerpe om te dek, ’n gebrek aan bevordering en die talle ander uitdagings wat swart vrouejoernaliste in hierdie tydperk moes trotseer, het hul werksomgewing onvriendelik en vyandig gemaak met betrekking tot hul werksverrigting. Hierdie studie ondersoek die politieke rol wat vanaf 1994 tot 1999 deur swart vrouejoernaliste by die Sowetan gespeel is. Die studie toon aan hoe die swart vrouejoernaliste ander nuusperspektiewe na die Sowetan gebring het, met die wyse waarop hulle verslag gedoen het en ook waarop hulle aangeleenthede in die breë verband van ’n nuwe demokratiese bestel in Suid-Afrika beskou het. 2011-10-31T13:59:46Z 2011-12-06T08:38:01Z 2012-12-31T22:10:05Z 2011-12 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/18112 en_ZA Stellenbosch University Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University |

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2011. === ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Black journalists in South Africa have played a crucial role in exposing the political
oppression of black South Africans during the Apartheid era. In this regard the Sowetan
newspaper made a great contribution. However, the political role that black women
journalists played at the Sowetan has been ignored, before and after 1994. After 1994,
political black women journalists at the Sowetan continued to make strides despite the
hostile environment that these women journalists worked in. The limitation of beats and
assignments, lack of promotions and many other challenges that black women journalists
faced during this period made their work environment unfriendly and hostile towards
their performance.
This study examines the political role made by black women journalists at the Sowetan
newspaper from 1994 to 1999. The study shows how the black women journalists
brought different perspectives in news at the Sowetan through their manner of reporting
and also how they viewed matters within the context of a new democracy in South
Africa. === AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Swart joernaliste in Suid-Afrika het ’n onontbeerlike rol gespeel in die onthulling van die politieke onderdrukking van swart Suid-Afrikaners tydens die apartheidsjare. In hierdie verband het die Sowetan-koerant ’n groot bydrae gelewer. Die politieke rol van swart
vrouejoernaliste by die Sowetan is egter geïgnoreer, voor en ná 1994. Ná 1994 het
politieke swart vrouejoernaliste by die Sowetan steeds opgang gemaak, ten spyte van die
vyandige omgewing waarin hierdie vroue gewerk het. Beperkte opdragte en spesialisonderwerpe om te dek, ’n gebrek aan bevordering en die talle ander uitdagings
wat swart vrouejoernaliste in hierdie tydperk moes trotseer, het hul werksomgewing
onvriendelik en vyandig gemaak met betrekking tot hul werksverrigting.
Hierdie studie ondersoek die politieke rol wat vanaf 1994 tot 1999 deur swart
vrouejoernaliste by die Sowetan gespeel is. Die studie toon aan hoe die swart
vrouejoernaliste ander nuusperspektiewe na die Sowetan gebring het, met die wyse
waarop hulle verslag gedoen het en ook waarop hulle aangeleenthede in die breë verband
van ’n nuwe demokratiese bestel in Suid-Afrika beskou het. |
