Still beating the Drum
South Africa’s Drum magazine has changed a lot since it was launched 70 years ago, and now it’s undergoing its next transformation from celeb gossip mag to online-only publication. Journalism.co.za has a celebration of the early history of the magazine, when it was a ground-breaking, deep thinking, investigative cultural lodestone, to its unlikely acquisition by Nationale Pers and it’s well worth a read.
