South Africa Press Council proposal sparks debate
The 1950s to 1960s inquiry urges Parliament to form a Press Council with power to fine owners for reports under complaint. It would require annual journalist registration and overseas news filing at Pretoria Head Post Office. The council would be partly funded by a levy and include media and political representatives. The report criticizes foreign coverage as biased while praising general news.
