 | What is "news"? information of interest |
 | To you, what is objectivity? It is reporting freely without being biased because of your personal feelings, beliefs or frame of reference. Sticking to the facts and presenting them as FACTS, presenting opinions as opinions |
 | What is the best headline you have ever read? It was during the 2010 World Cup and Benni McCarthy was dropped from the Bafana Bafana finals squad due to lack of fitness. SuperSport.com had the headline
'No Benni-fit for Bafana' |
 | What headline would you like to see printed one day in the newspaper? Real rain Ronaldo goals |
 | Which paper do you buy on Sundays? Where do you read it? Sunday Times |
 | Does freedom of expression end where the editorial line begins? Begins with Opinions presented clearly as not FACTS. |
 | Do you feel that analytical and investigative journalism is being lost? Yes, I do feel that way because now we have lazy journalists who google information to put together a piece. Some investigations turn out to be far fetched |
 | With a camera on every mobile phone, is every citizen becoming a correspondent? More of a blogger than a correspondent |
 | How would you explain the boom of the tabloid press? Drama makes life interesting and people want to know the behind the scenes of players. For example we know what Messi can do with a soccer ball, but can he cook, drive or swim? |
 | What is your position regarding the right to privacy of famous people? When you decide to become a public figure who earns from taxpayers, I believe the taxpayers have the right to to know everything about you that may involve their hard earned cash |
