Sanef appeals for help amid media jobs bloodbath

Sanef urged stakeholders – including the government, corporates and individual citizens to support the industry – and called on the government to keep its promise of looking at ways it could assist.

Sanef said it had calculated that about 700 jobs had already been lost through retrenchments in the print media sector, including the closure of Associated Media Publishers, the sale of the magazine division at Caxton and the closure of at least 80 small print media publications under the Association of Independent Publishers .

In May, President Cyril Ramaphosa met with Sanef and promised that the government would find ways to assist the fourth estate.
