THE READINESS REPORT

Dirty linen, global stakes: Redi Tlhabi on the media’s failure in US–SA coverage

In a solo episode of The Readiness Report, Redi Tlhabi turns the microphone on her own industry — calling out how some South African media has mishandled coverage of US–South Africa relations. From misplaced outrage to narratives driven by vested interests, Tlhabi unpacks the dangers of a media captured by factional agendas and reminds us what journalism is, and isn’t, meant to do.
