The reform of broadcasting, telecommunications, the state information agency and the print press from apartheid-aligned apparatuses to accountable democratic institutions took place via a complex political process in which civil society activism, embodying a post-social democratic ideal, largely won out over the powerful forces of formal market capitalism and older models of state control. In the cautious acceptance of the market, the civil society organizations sought to use the dynamism of the market while thwarting its inevitable inequities. Forged in the crucible of a difficult transition to democracy, communication reform in South Africa was navigated between the National Party's embrace of the market and the African National Congress leadership's default statist orientation.Communication, society and politics.Communication & Democratic Reform in South AfricaCommunication policySouth AfricaDemocracySouth AfricaSouth AfricaPolitics and government1989-1994Communication policyDemocracy302.2/0968Horwitz Robert Britt480799UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910814956303321Communication and democratic reform in South Africa4068261UNINA
