| Summary: | This article looks at reporting practices in the South African news media with regard to online
sources and the realisation of peace journalism. Based on data collected from questionnaires
and interviews with journalists, media scholars and media monitors in South Africa, the article
explores their responses to suggestions that Internet sources are more politically biased than
are traditional sources and determines both the extent to which journalists use them and the
extent to which they should rely on online sources. The discussion around online sources and
potential bias and even hate speech is linked up with normative ideas and debates around peace
journalism in the South African news media and the promise of peace journalism through the
usage of alternative news sources.
