Allegedly True

Hello everyone, hope you all have had a pleasant week. This is the 3rd post and this post is going to show you the work that i am doing for my NEWS TEAM. The first part of the article was the hardest, It involved my news team going out and doing research on a topic that is suitable for this article. We had a lot of information that was available on a certain person and his acts. He is Mr Bheki Cele, he is also the present police chief general and during the past few months he has been involved in fraudulent activities.A billionaire businessman has clinched a dodgy R500-million property deal with him and this is the main activity that we will be looking at. Over the next few months my news team and i will be following this case very closely. So please return to my page and i will keep you updated on the latest breaking news.

MY ROLE

Good day everyone, welcome back to my blog. It’s the 2^nd week and I am going to tell you the roles I am going to play in our news team. First of all, I hope you guys and girls had a great week and I hope we would get along much better once we get to know each other.

As a member of this group I would like to be one of the journalists that does research and prepares articles to hand in to the editors. This sort of role takes up a lot of time, but I am prepared to work as hard as possible. My work will be a summarised article that will explore many subtopics that is relevant to our main topic.

The Subtopic that I have interest in is Media law, freedom of press and freedom of information. These aspects are the ones that I, as an individual will enjoy writing about. Some of the questions I will be answering are “What is freedom of press?”, “What laws is there that prevent media from being published?”, “What type of information is restricted from being published?” etc.

This information could help us understand what media and information can be published and what is restricted by law from being published. In this project I wish to make a major contribution of information that will help us to complete the task at hand. That’s all for now mates, enjoy the rest of the week, till next week, Goodbye.



The Freedom To Express

Hello everyone! My name is Dinolan Pillay, I am 18years of age and I am a 1st year University student. I am born and raised in Durban, South Africa and I love the atmosphere to death. I study at the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal, Howard campus. The course that i am studying is a Bachelor of Social Science, in the field of geography and environmental management. My hope and dream as a University student is to obtain a Masters degree in the course that I am studying. Most of all, I am trying to have as much fun as possible while I am still young.

In South Africa our technology is not as advanced as the U.S.A, Great Britain ect. Although we still have the same resources of the news that these countries have. I am very lucky to have all the resources offered like, newspapers, TV, internet and many more, but South Africa is a developing country and it is not available to lots of people. The newspapers I have access to are namely, The Daily News, The Post, Sunday Times and many others. I have access to premium TV channels that broadcast news 24/7, they are CNN, e news, Sky news, Euro news and many others. Internet services are available to me and I mostly read the news on The New York Times website. Newspapers are available in South African languages, but TV and Internet services allow me to get news in many languages from around the world. What i enjoy watching on TV is sport, adventure and comedy. The things that i most enjoy reading is books on technology and entertainment magazines.

Now my attention turns to "Freedom of Expression". Freedom of expression can be explained in many different ways, but i am going to give you my understanding of the term. To me "Freedom of Expression" means that every person has the right to express his/her personal views and opinions. They have no one that can tell them that you cannot say all that they want to.
