"Content is fire,
social media is gasoline."
- Jay Baer
The 18th annual Vodacom Journalist of the Year Awards are inspired by the work that journalists in South Africa have done to assist in making our democracy stronger. Our theme is "Connect the Dots" which is what one expects from journalists who need to help us understand our complex society. Quality journalism remains important to help us make decisions about the actions of people who play prominent roles in our society. The media continues to hold those with power and influence to account. The Vodacom Journalist of the Year Awards are designed to pay tribute to those journalists who boldly tell the truth and challenge the status quo, leaving no stone unturned in the pursuit of the truth.
