There were two battles against apartheid-a political campaign and a media war. The political story has been told, and now you can read about the media effort. As South Africa marks in 2014 its 20th anniversary as a democracy, its transformation is still hailed as a 'miracle.' Most of the credit for the region's massive changes is awarded to towering leaders like the late Nelson Mandela. But the freedom fighters didn't achieve it alone-they had active solidarity from a global anti-apartheid movement, with a media component that showcased the struggle and kept it visible worldwide. 'News Dissector' Danny Schechter reveals the inside story of what he calls a 'Media War' in When South Africa Called, We Answered. He presents journalism as activism and displays the determination and dedication of journalists worldwide in exposing and eradicating apartheid.
