THOSE bloggers who believe the Online Petition Against Prejudice in SA Publishing, is a merely a response to music industry politics, think again. When has the media ever bothered to cover local music, in particular those musicians marginalised by the apartheid system?
please sign the petition
so that musicians can get a fair deal, and arts and entertainment journalists can escape the parameters of prejudice under which publishers like Naspers/Media24 and even INM operate.
