South Africa’s oldest quality news source, the Mail&Guardian are now live on the airwaves. Their new week-starting show, the Mail&Guardian Newsroom, is live on 2ov Radio every Monday morning from 9am to 10am.

This, from the Mail&Guardian:

Most news nowadays consists of throwaway sound bites that are the same on almost every radio station and website. The Mail & Guardian is different. Africa’s first ever news website started in 1994, and since then we’ve been bringing you the stories behind the news.
