Sunday newspaper City Press<\/a> has topped its competitor, The Sunday Times<\/a>, as the most influential media platform in South Africa, Beeld reported on Wednesday (12 June).<\/p>\n

Media research institute, Media Tenor<\/a>, compiled a list of the most influential media by analysing 2 422 quotes in various forms of local media between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012.<\/p>\n

City Press built on progress made over the past three years to become the most quoted, or most influential medium in the South African media landscape, Media Tenor said.<\/p>\n

The Sunday Times had dropped to second most influential newspaper, after six years in the top position.<\/p>\n

According to Rieyaad Hartley<\/a>, a researcher at Media Tenor, City Press editor Ferial Haffajee<\/a>‘s approach to debates on Brett Murray’s controversial painting The Spear, and her comments on political issues, all contributed to the paper’s influence.<\/p>\n
