List of South African media

In South Africa, there are few national dailies. A nation-wide dissemination is traditionally reserved for the most weekly newspapers whose editions are in part significantly higher than that of the daily newspapers.

The oldest newspaper in South Africa is a state indicator, which in 1800 for the first time with both an English (Cape Town Gazette and African Advertiser) and a Dutch edition ( Kaapsche Stads Courant en Afrikaansche Berigter ) came out. The oldest published newspaper is the Herald, founded in 1845 in Port Elizabeth.

The South African newspaper market is dominated almost entirely by the four publishers Avusa, Caxton and CTP Publishers and Printers, Independent Newspapers and Naspers. Naspers here has a monopoly on all the major Afrikaans newspapers. These were strongly bound at the time of apartheid to the ruling National Party, in the wake of the abolition of the apartheid system and the subsequent disappearance of the National Party from the political scene, these newspapers had to re- orient. Even today, there are newspapers that serve targeted a specific ethnic group.

Caxton / CTP is almost exclusively represented in the newspaper market with local newspapers that are not listed here due to the limitation on major titles.
