This arlicle offers some reffections on the state of development
communication in South Africa, and suggests that closer attention needs to
paid to the theoretical underpinnings of communication for development'
practices, the emerging institutional contexts and the capacity building that
is required in a rapid change situation. It suggests that academics and practitioners need to find a middle way
through the 'anything goes' and 'developmentalism' poles of the debate
about how best to use communication for development. particularly in the
light of the new Government Communications and Information Service
and the Poverly and Inequality Report.
