Episode notes

From its roots as a liberation-era voice of dissent to the then apartheid government to today’s era of digital transformation, The Namibian has lasted the test of time to remain the country’s largest daily. Now at 40, questions of sustainability, relevance, and press freedom in a changing media landscape come to the fore. Leading that journey is managing director and editor Tangeni Amupadhi.


He joins us to talk about where The Namibian stands today, the challenges of modern journalism, and what the next 40 years could look like.
