Intro

Grocott's Mail Online includes the majority of content that is published in the print edition of Grocott's Mail, as well as web-exclusive content including multimedia offerings. It was launched as the Grocott's Mail Digital Edition in 2006, when it was run by staff and students in the New Media Lab at Rhodes University's School of Journalism & Media Studies. 
Grocott's Mail Online  in its current form was launched in July 2009. It is part of a Knight Foundation-funded project, Iindaba Ziyafika ("The news is coming"), the core proposition of which is that information and communication technology can enlarge the public sphere by providing the tools that encourage participation and facilitate that participation.

 

Grocott's Mail Online endeavours to do this by - amongst other initiatives - providing and promoting a platform for citizen journalism. Our MyStory section is well-populated with stories written and photographed by citizen journalists; many of these stories appear in the print edition as well. We run training courses in the Grocott's Mail Citizen Journalism Newsroom to equip local citizens with knowledge and skills that help to make them more effective citizen journalists.

 

Grocott's Mail Online was awarded first place in the 2009 SABC Highway Africa New Media Awards in the corporate category. The awards are given in recognition of "creative and appropriate adaptation of technologies within the continent to compete effectively in the wider environment."
