M&G: Africa’s best read

THE Mail & Guardian still offers you the best newspaper value for your money and from August 8 will be launching an exciting new state of the art culture and entertainment section, Friday. It will be the ultimate guide to culture, lifestyles and the arts and having a good time on the weekend, with full TV listings as well as an informed guide to what’s on in cinema, theatre, art, music and events. The main section will also have an improved look.

From this week the cover price of the paper increases to R3.90. However, we are holding the subscription price down. This means that if you subscribe you still only pay the 1992 price for the paper.

Other changes that we are making include moving the Antenna media section into Arts, opening the back page of the paper for an expanded Sports section, switching the Business and jobs section back into the main body of the paper and expanding the Inside section as a forum for the best journalism in South Africa. All of this will contribute to our undertaking to give our readers Africa’s best read.
