ISBN 978-0-7021-7675-3. which is only a paragraph and a quote that is really not about ANC Today. This is an accessible copy of the text from Fourie's 2002 article. Fourie, P.J. (2002). "Rethinking the role of the media in South Africa : research article". Communicare : Journal for Communication Sciences in Southern Africa. 21 (1): 17–40. Wasserman (2005) (both) are not separate sources as Wasserman just repeats the Fourie (2002) text.

ANC Today gets only passing mention in Glenn, Ian and Mattes, Robert 'Political Communication in Post-Apartheid South Africa' (a chapter in Semetko, Holli A. and Scammell, Margaret (2012) The SAGE Handbook of Political Communication) with two sentences on page 502, which reads in its entirety While the ANC toyed with ideas of starting its own newspaper, it eventually opted for an online news site, ANC Today, which became a favorite vehicle for Mandela's successor, Thabo Mbeki to disseminate party positions as well as his own personal, often highly idiosyncratic views on topics such as HIV/AIDS. South Africa must be one of the few countries in the past decades where an acting president took such an active part in writing large parts of the party's weekly political communication. followed by the conclusion, page 503, The former site acted as the ANC's attempt to set the agenda for political coverage but also reacted against what it saw as unfair coverage from mainstream media. --Bejnar (talk) 18:49, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
