South Africa is home to a very active and outspoken media that takes its role as the “fourth estate” quite seriously. During Apartheid, the government routinely censored media content if it contained any sympathies towards the anti-Apartheid movement. Today, freedom of press is alive and well, and journalists regularly launch vocal opposition to controversial government practices.

Several of South Africa’s leading magazines and editorial offices offer journalism internship opportunities with local publications such as outdoor magazines and travel guides.
