Abstract:
The news media play a significant role in the education policy arena, influencing the way in which issues are prioritized and understood. This article draws on a content analysis of the South African English news media articles to discern themes that were given prominence and to explore additional insights for framing the curriculum for initial teacher education programmes. We engaged with articles about basic education and analysed those that we considered significant for the context or situational components in teacher education. We engaged with the voices of civil society articulated via the mass media. Our engagement with the media was considered action oriented for purposes of informing curriculum design, with the media being a significant realm of social life through which public opinion can both be formed. In this sense, the public and advocacy organisations can use the media as a watchdog to protect public interests against malpractice and to create public awareness about issues of societal importance.
