Dr Iqbal Surve: It s time to challenge self-appointed custodians of media freedom and ethics

Dr Iqbal Surve: Itâs time to challenge self-appointed custodians of media freedom and ethics By Dr Iqbal SurvÃ© Share Cape Town - In 2016, Independent Media made a considered decision to withdraw from the Press Council of South Africa (PCSA). Our decision was a collective one and was not made at a whim or to undermine press freedom, freedom of expression or refusing to be held accountable for our actions. Independent Mediaâs withdrawal from the PCSA was a consequence of an impasse over the reintroduction of a waiver clause. We were of the view that the removal of the waiver by the Press Council had the unintended consequences of involving Independent Media and other media houses in potentially excessive costly litigation.
