Boardroom Talk – Some good news on press freedom with SA ranking above the UK, Australia

By Alec Hogg

It's not easy running a business in South Africa. But being in media, I count my blessing that the tradition of Press Freedom, instilled in 1994, remains in rude health.

The latest Press Freedom Index released yesterday by Reporters Without Borders ranks SA 25th of 180 countries. That's an excellent score – as you can see from the image above, we're just behind France and ahead of both the UK and Australia. The USA languished in 45th place.
