Dateline Soweto by William Finnegan

Dateline Soweto documents the working lives of black South African reporters caught between the mistrust of militant blacks, police harrassment, and white editors who-fearing government disapproval-may not print the stories these reporters risk their lives to get. William Finnegan revisited several of these reporters during the May 1994 election and describes their post-apartheid working experience in a new preface and epilogue.

Cold New World, A Complex Conflict, Dateline Soweto, Crossing the Line, and Barbarian Days are among William Finnegan's works. He's been a finalist for the National Magazine Award twice and has earned a slew of journalism honors, including two Overseas Press Club awards since 2009. The Pulitzer Prize for Autobiography was awarded to Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life in 2016. He has been a staff writer for The New Yorker since 1987 and currently resides in Manhattan.
