MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN SOUTH AFRICA
A small number of legacy publishing groups dominate a national press market characterized by mass-market tabloids operating alongside established broadsheets. The Sunday Times stands as the country's largest national weekly, while the Media24-owned tabloid Daily Sun captures an enormous daily working-class readership. Historic titles like the investigative Mail & Guardian, the financial broadsheet Business Day, and Johannesburg's centre-left daily The Star hold significant journalistic weight across the country.
