Zapiro show distributed online
After a number of years of development ZA NEWS (http://www.mg.co.za/zanews), a satirical news show created by Zapiro and Thierry Cassuto, will begin showing on the 6th of October.
The comedy, which will feature skits based on local politicians and celebrities such as Helen Zille, Jacob Zuma and Julius Malema, will be delivered to the public online and will run from Tuesday to Friday with a longer skit on Saturday.
“The exciting thing about the opening up of online channels is how we can entertain and build relationships with communities. Here we can develop new programmes, we can engage our audiences, and we can share perspectives in an interactive environment. kulula.com and the Mail & Guardian make perfect partners as relevant, powerful brands and leaders in building online communities,” said Thierry Cassuto, co-creator and producer / director of ZA NEWS.
Each episode, which will be roughly three minutes long, will be available via the ZA NEWS, Mail and Guardian and Kulula websites.
“We believe that www.mg.co.za is the logical home for ZA NEWS as it points the way forward for us a news and content company that is increasingly investing in new platforms, and reaching new audiences. It is important that the Mail and Guardian does this in a way that will continue to represent our basic editorial values – independence, fearlessness, quality and relevance,” added Nic Dawes, Editor of the Mail and Guardian.
