[edit] Suggested merge

I suggest merging Newspapers_in_South_Africa into this article. This article is currently much more complete. If it ever gets to the stage where the newspapers section warrants a separate article it can be split off again, but at the moment the newspaper article is embarassing in comparison to this one, and it's just double the work to maintain links to newspapers etc. Greenman 16:38, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone have any comments on the proposed merge of List of South African television channels into this article? Greenman 12:46, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wrongly redirected link

there is no reference, except a wrongly redirected link for the Daily Sun. the Daily sun is the highest selling newspaper in South Africa, with outdated published circulation figures of 400 000 and a actual current daily average of over 500 000.

Here is the official media 24 press release on the Daily Sun

"Daily Sun is the biggest daily newspaper in South Africa. With over 400 000 sales in Gauteng, Limpopo Province, Mpumalanga and Northwest Province, the national expansion of the paper to KwaZulu-Natal, Free State and the Eastern Cape will add to the existing circulation.

Daily Sun targets readers in and around the major urban centers of South Africa. These readers are predominantly black, English literate with a minimum high school education, working class earners - the economic core of South Africa. Daily Sun readers are progressive in their outlook, open to new experiences and eager to explore the opportunities the new social, political and economic environment offers.

They are the major beneficiaries of change in this country. Their living conditions and general standard of living changed almost overnight as access to housing, electricity, running water, job opportunities and minimum wages came sweeping through under a new democratic government. Our reader thrives under these conditions and will typically take advantage of these opportunities in order to improve his or her general well-being." [[3]]

Which in itself is outdated as the Daily Sun has already expanded its operations to include KwaZulu-Natal, Free State and the Eastern Cape. Leaving only the Western Cape to be conquered by 2008 at the latest.
