Authors’ note

In this book we have tried to tell the story of how an important newspaper group was undermined by its owners and stripped of its role in South Africa’s evolving democracy.

We’ve turned to the unusual device of talking about ourselves in the third person because there were two authors and we felt that the alternative – indicating where each of our voices began and ended – would have been confusing and irritating for readers. Another factor was that the book evolved as we went along, from two people’s accounts to the stories of many journalists who once worked at Independent Newspapers.

The reader will notice that the voices of several people are missing: that is because they did not respond to requests for interviews.
