That's pretty much all journalism then.

All the reporters were fawning over cyril and his morning 'run' on the promenade.

Why is Daily Maverick doing this?​

Until now, we’ve failed to appropriately convey the urgency and severity of the crisis that journalism is facing, and its impact on society. We have many data points that support how bad the crisis is but it’s not clear to enough people how the crisis impacts democracy and our attempts to revive our economy.

Democracy decays quickly when journalism dies, which in turn allows poor governance and corruption to leech off the economy. Big problems need bold solutions and it's clear we need to get the message across at scale.

Newsrooms across South Africa have been retrenching staff and closing down leaving a journalism vacuum in metros all over South Africa. In response to this, Daily Maverick needs to grow our footprint with journalists on the ground to adequately serve South Africa. We need policy changes, big business involvement and support from the public in order to do this.

Impact on society... I have to question some op-ed pieces though. The Daily Maverick at times walks two lines.
 
Didn't someone pull a similar stunt a few years ago? Or the whole shutdown reddit thing?

The issue I have with them is they are playing an active role in politics, and with a clear left of spectrum bias.
Their editorial staff should rather contest elections because they are political activists, and not fair and impartial media pundits. They hide behind the words 'democracy' and 'diverse speech', but that's just a thin sugar coating veneer to advance their bitter and radical agenda.
