News24 is gearing up for its On The Record Summit in Johannesburg, where legal journalist karynmaughan will host a panel discussion on safeguarding whistle blowers and independent journalism in South Africa.
News24's On The Record Summit is headed to Johannesburg at the end of August.
Meanwhile the country's journalists and whistle blowers, who risk it all to expose the wrongdoing eroding democracy in South Africa, are confronted with threats to their safety and democratic freedoms - all for telling the truth. The full-day summit will be attended by some of the country's leading minds, who will engage in a range of panel discussions about pressing issues affecting our nation.
Those who seek to discredit or conceal the truth often go to extreme lengths to avoid accountability.
