Newspaper by Maggie Messitt
The 400-year story of the newspaper as an object and disseminator of information, a critical component of democracy, and an agent of suppression told through the part it played in the formation and development of the two nations journalist Maggie Messitt calls home: South Africa and the United States.
This book is an unusual, imaginative braiding together of two countries – the United States and South Africa – and two streams of history: the growth of democracy, and the growth of a probing, vibrant, defiant pressMaggie Messitt has a fine eye for the telling detail, the shocking fact, the unsung hero or heroine. * Adam Hochschild, author of American Midnight: The Great War, a Violent Peace, and Democracy’s Forgotten Crisis (2022) *
