    Brassed off by the Brits

    (Sunday Times Lifestyle)

    In this category, there was a surfeit of chronicles about corruption. It may be that there are so many cases that they can be picked up like diamonds on the Skeleton Coast. But, even so, those journos playing a serious watchdog role are doing society very proud.

    We take our hats off for the effort made by a select bunch of journalists to keep this genre alive in our country – in the face of a myriad obstacles, including unprecedented cost-cuts and lack of investment. Arguably, investigative journalism has never been so important given the pressures on the industry.
