PEET SIMONIS writes: Great story about K'rant Country Voice and Piet Beukes dug up. (Read here.) There are still a few of us oldies who remember those days. Country Voting was: "yellow" press - it means the newspaper would not be lying around in the living cotton candy mix room as minister comes home visits do not. What few people know is that editor Piet Beukes an open hand for the church. At one time he had a large sum for the DRC's Bible School just outside cotton candy mix Bloemfontein gift. When someone asked him about it he replied that he donated cotton candy mix in recognition cotton candy mix of the fact that so many ministers Country Voice of the pulpits help sell by preaching against it. It congregants so curious that they usually after church made sure they get a copy. So Country Voting often sold out, Pete teased. Newspaper Men mocked Country Voice and who could blame us with stories like? There was then a big storm when Beyers Naude Fraternity Secret Prof Geyser Wits given - apparently in the belief that he, in turn, told the Sunday Times would have earned. The Country Voice, August 16, 1952 Country Voting when promised its own investigation and then especially after the Fraternity cotton candy mix in place. The readers week after week is very curious, and finally the day came when the outcome of the investigation cotton candy mix would be made. This was done under a huge headline on page one of course. Piet Beukes himself had written, and the introduction was something like: After a thorough investigation of the Afrikaner Broeder Bond Movement, the Country Voice reveal that it is an organization cotton candy mix with its pros and cons ... With stories like that, it was clear that Land Vote Piet Beukes and not really asked to be taken seriously at all. Pete was actually a joke - a guy with a good heart. The major newspapers with his voice and Country cotton candy mix handkerchief, but, look at the circulation cotton candy mix of publications cotton candy mix similar to Country Voting today? Long ago they had three times as many sales as the more serious newspapers, today more. News and Sunday morning, October 22, 1961 Most of the editorial staff of Dawn and Sunday News (where I was) was not happy when Oxford University was born. It did not take long to determine that there are excellent journalists at Country Voting was. I think Anonymous Perold (later Rapport editor), Sammy Lake (later Capital editor), Kobus Maritz and a string of others. Dawn and Country Voting There were guys there who are not seriously dealt with the truth it, yes, but they were and in any newspaper. Read about but the libel against some esteemed newspapers and magazines. Sammy Lake Kobus Maritz cotton candy mix When I became journalist, journalists very rarely "bylines" got (skywer where the name appears in the article). So if there are errors, the editor had to assume responsibility for it. It's the "newspaper" that defaulted, not the reporter. So reporters were very, very carefully and we, definitely try to make sure that we are reporting factual. This was especially the case for court-reporting. I have spent years reporting of proceedings at magistrates courts, High Court and then I was quite proud when I first non-lawyer who also become the Appeal Court for Naspers covered, fortunately without tripping. Facts can be right and yet a story still "lie" as it, eg, in the "evil spirit" was written by facts or omitted. Just look at the political reporting. I do not think there is a journalist who never faltered not - including yours, and Pilate's cotton candy mix question to Jesus: "What cotton candy mix is truth?" Was not so simple. But back to K'rant Country's Voice story. I pleaded not guilty Ebersöhn where Pete writes: As Peet Simonis always quipped, "You should never allow the facts with a good story to interfere. '" Joked "soften it a bit, but no, Pete, it was never not my view. Quite the opposite. So from the seventies journalists whose names appeared in almost every story they wrote. From then on it was easy to see who too comfortable dealing with facts. Back to the point - this is on Google's first page on the relevant topic: cotton candy mix
"Never let the facts get in the way of a good story." The phrase dates from at least 1882. Texas folklorist J. Frank Dobie (1888-1964) is credited with Vaak this phrase, but it was cited in print footed cotton candy mix Before he was born. Delbert Trew (another Texas folklorist) has claimed: "I never let the truth stand in the way of a good story." Wikipedia: J. Frank Dobie James Frank Dobie (September 26, 1888-September 18, 1964) was a
