media tribunal

From the various interviews that we conducted we were able to get a much more substantiate view of this bill they want to implement, the media tribunal proposal. The media professors that we interviewed felt strong about this bill; they were strongly opinionated when it came to expressing how they felt about the bill.

One of the media professors that we interviewed was Marc Caldwell, who was infuriated about this. He stated that, “South Africa is a load of sheep”, and as a democratic country we should be allowed free speech. He continued to say that South Africa is not necessarily going back to apartheid but it shows a lot of backwardness (follow the leader). He added that they were ‘idiots’, and that there is no impartiality.He also said that South Africa is implementing the Media Tribunal as it failed in other countries like China, China is moving away from the Bill as the country is more open to free speech. Dr. Carwell expressed clearly that he is totally against this bill as it will make South Africa backward. According to Dr. Caldwell Media Freedom is vital for a democratic country like South Africa since there are theoritical evidence that freedom importance is vital.
