Media24 is South Africa’s leading media company, with a strong presence in digital media, book publishing and television. As part of Naspers, a global media and e-commerce group, we are committed to shaping the future of storytelling.
Enriching lives 24/7
Our purpose is to build communities through excellent journalism, smart technology and innovative services. We do this by telling stories that matter, turning data into insights, and designing solutions that make a difference.
We are guided by four core values: courage, integrity, accountability and respect – principles that define how we work and engage with the world.
Daily Maverick is a unique blend of news, information, analysis and opinion delivered from our newsrooms in Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa. There are many ways to describe exactly what we do (and for the price of a cup of coffee we'll talk your ears off about it), but the best way to understand the end result is to experience it. Head to our website or subscribe to one of our free newsletters.
Every part of Daily Maverick is free-to-air and no-payment-required, although free registration is required for a small subset of functions and pages.
Daily Maverick is run by an independently owned, private company with no affiliation to any other media group (or political party or religious organisation.) It is funded through advertising, events and reader contributions.
Its investigative unit, Scorpio, is mostly grant funded.
