  • WHAT THE SMART KIDS ARE READING

    29 Jan 2008 by Seth Rotherham in Cape Town Products And Retail

    [To avoid potential emboerrissment, the incorrect spelling of “journalists” above, is noted!]

    whilst potentially emIt’s a concept largely ignored by most of South Africa’s daily and monthly publications – you know, hiring journalists who know what they’re talking about, have communication skills and even know how to spell. I’m certainly not saying that 2oceansvibe is exploding at the seams with Shakespearian eloquence and high grammar, but, you know, our daily and Saturday papers are BIG companies! You just can’t get away with shit like this:

    rapits-convicted
    The online version of our regular weekly broadsheets.
    There is no such thing as a “rapit”, so even a simple spellcheck
    would have spotted that one.. Come now, guys.

    And with some minor articles requiring four journalists to report on a local school sports day, I’m a little tired of being experimented on. That was before I was told about The Weekender, Business Day’s far more palatable Saturday “offering.”

    the-weekender
    The Weekender – get it

    I was thoroughly impressed by the level of journalism, intellect and angles taken by most of the articles – successfully covering everything from tech and sports to finance and politics. Some of them even dare to do more than just report and actually give their views! It just comes across so much better and doesn’t feel like you’re reading some kid’s school project.

    So next Saturday, have a look out for The Weekender. Sold in most outlets, and most definitely at Carlucci’s.

    Sunday, of course, will always belong to The Sunday Times!

    [note: this article was written in the days where the Sunday Times actually gave us something]
