Through a textual analysis of IOL's piece on News24 journalist Karyn Maughan, William Bird shows how the attack piece is ridiculous, does not hold up to the Press Code and undermines journalism.
It's hard to know quite where to begin with the piece widely publicised across IOL platforms and social media accounts, that asks the question, Is Karyn Maughan South Africa's Leni Riefenstahl?
On the IOL site, the article is accompanied by a framing graphic that has an image of Maughan with an old South African flag behind her to her left.
