    TRIBUTE: A deep immersion

    By Anthea Garman, Head of the School of Journalism and Media Studies, Rhodes University

    Sue brought to Grocott’s Mail her powerful sense that a community newspaper like this would only be worthwhile if it were strongly rooted in the Makhanda community. And she made strong efforts to know and understand this community in all its facets as both the editor and reporter.

    I have always been deeply impressed that she felt she could only do this city justice by knowing it extremely well (hence the work on the ground she undertook herself) and by approaching the making of news about it with a thoughtful, non-sensational approach to covering its important issues.

    Prof Anthea Garman, head of the School of Journalism and Media Studies at Rhodes University.
