>South Africa, with its eleven official languages, is often held up as an
>outstanding example of a multilingual nation. But are these all healthy
>media languages? Or are the pressures of globalization and media
>economics effectively advantaging some languages over others?  And is
>there anything that can be done, or anything that should be done, to
>promote the health of South Africas languages? Alternatively, would
>South Africans be better off just using English?  Does South Africa need
>a debate about its languages, language-use and the role of the media in
>promoting local languages?
>
>Those with an interest in language policy, media policy and the future of
>South Africas languages are invited to contribute to a special issue of
>Communicatio: South African Journal for Communication Theory and
