London: Information Department, International Defense and Aid Fund, Information Department (1974), 67 pp.
"An analysis of freedom of the press in South Africa, including the long war against the free press, the laws that restrain and control it relations with the police, press ownership, and the role of the press in an apartheid society. Appendixes give circulation figures and group ownership. Another, and much older, book on the South African book is Cutten's 'A History of the Press in South Africa' in which the author emphasizes its struggle for freedom from the government, particularly in the Transvaal Republic where he was a journalist. There are also other rare descriptions such as "The Bantu Press," "Press and the Police," "Press and the Pulpit." It carries footnotes." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G.
