I came away from that not really learning anything about South African mainstream vs. alternative media. He clearly sees freedom of speech as essential, but doesn't really get into any detail about the role and importance of "media". As far as media theory goes, I would have liked to read about what he thinks South African mainstream media is all about, and what alternative even means in that country.
