"Sean Jacobs take a unique approach to tell a comprehensive story
of postapartheid South Africa and African society. Media
consolidates and enacts the victory of a particular image of what
South Africa ought to be. This is an incredibly powerful story,
which is much bigger than media, but to which media gives us
access."—Herman Wasserman, author of Tabloid Journalism in South
Africa
"Sean Jacobs proposes a new agenda for the study of culture in
contemporary South Africa by focusing on media infrastructures that
condition, select, and edit the sorts of information that are
available. Jacobs's work will be read for its revelations about the
nature of citizenship and public engagement in our media saturated
age."—Daniel R. Magaziner, author of The Law and the Prophets:
Black Consciousness in South Africa , 1968–1977
