Long Description
Dateline Soweto documents the working lives of black South African reporters caught between the mistrust of militant blacks, police harrassment, and white editors who--fearing government disapproval--may not print the stories these reporters risk their lives to get. William Finnegan revisited several of these reporters during the May 1994 election and describes their post-apartheid working experience in a new preface and epilogue.

Unpaid Annotation
Dateline Soweto follows the working lives of a small group of black South African reporters, brave men and women caught in the crossfire between their communities, the police, and their white editors during the great anti-apartheid uprising of the late 1980s. A new preface and epilogue, reported during the historic 1994 elections, bring the story up to date.
