Описание книги

Focusing on three South African communities the authors dismiss the idea that some groups are voiceless, arguing that they are being deliberately ignored by dominant news media The dominant news media are often accused of reflecting an ‘elite bias’, privileging and foregrounding the interests of a small segment of society while ignoring the narratives of the majority. The authors of Tell Our Story investigate this problem and offer a hands-on demonstration of listening journalism and research in practice. In the process they dismiss the idea that some groups are voiceless, arguing that what is often described in such terms is mostly a matter of those groups being deliberately ignored. Focusing their attention on three very different South African communities they delve into the life and struggle narratives of each, exposing the divide between the stories told by the people who actually live in the communities and the way in which those stories have been understood and shaped by the media. The three communities are those living in the Glebelands hostel complex in Durban where over 100 residents have been killed in politically motivated violence in the past few years; the Xolobeni community on the Wild Coast, which has been resisting the building of a new toll road and a dune mining venture; and Thembelihle, a settlement south-west of Johannesburg that has been resisting removal for many years. The book concludes with a set of practical guidelines for journalists on the practice of listening journalism.

But this is not what really happened. What really happened is much more horrifying. The first volley of gunfire, and the only shooting incident initially reported in the news, downed only a small group of miners. The remainder of the 112 people shot were thereafter quite literally hunted down by SAPS officers as they tried to run away, many of them shot in the back. This second and brutal round of killings was not reported by the press.

It was an academic, It was an academic (not a journalist), Peter Alexander, who first alerted us to the full extent, nature and character of the police killings on that day. He and his team of researchers worked the scene, recorded evidence and collected eyewitness accounts (Alexander et al. 2012). Finally, almost a month after the massacre, an independent journalist, Greg Marinovich (2012), writing for the independent publication Daily Maverick, reported on the second killing sites where many people had been shot while trying to hide from the police, were trapped, and shot at close range. Until this point, the dominant news media, without exception and like well-behaved sheep, had dutifully reported the account provided by government and police spokespersons, which painted the massacre as an unfortunate accident. Marinovich’s article cracked that facade wide open.
