Peace-seeking Afrikaans editors in the apartheid era: Journalistic perspectives in a theological framework

Résumé

n this study, the ethical-journalistic contributions of five apartheid-era Afrikaans language newspaper editors are taken into review: Schalk Pienaar ( Die Beeld and Beeld ), Willem de Klerk ( Die Transvaler and Rapport ), Frits Gaum ( Die Kerkbode ), Doret Jansen ( Western Transvaal Record ) and Max Du Preez ( Vrye Weekblad ). Their ethical-journalistic contributions are described, keeping in mind the constraints within which they operated in these five diverse newspapers. Based on Christian historical-theological considerations, evaluative remarks are made, en route to promoting ethically sound journalism. Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The use of central theological ideas and/or a theological framework to evaluate aspects of societal ethics in the practice of journalism, here more specifically in the history of Afrikaans journalism, is explored.
