Ownership.

I'm a little confused over the ownership of the Mail & Guardian. Guardian Media Group's 2003 annual report mentions a 10% shareholding in M&G Media, but its 2004 report mentions neither the shareholding, nor any action to dispose of it. So does GMG (or its subsidiary Guardian Newspapers Ltd) still own any part of M&G? --rbrwr ^± 13:22, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Better late than never, I hope this helps:

"The M&G Online is owned by M&G Media, which publishes the M&G newspaper and is 87.5% owned by Newtrust Company Botswana Limited, owned by Zimbabwean publisher and entrepreneur Trevor Ncube. The London-based Guardian Newspapers Limited holds 10% of the company and minority shareholders make up the rest." quoted from M&G Wesite (About)

"Weekly Mail online"?

"The Weekly Mail criticised the government and its Apartheid policies which led to the paper's suspension in 1988 by PW Botha. In 1994 the Mail & Guardian Online was launched, becoming the first internet news publication in Africa. The London based Guardian Media Group (GMG), publishers of The Guardian, became the majority shareholder in 1995, and the name was changed to Mail & Guardian."

Was the site really called M&G before the paper was? What was the URL? www.mg.co.za was still a placeholder in 1997. -- Jeandré, 2006-12-04t19:59z

PR

This article reads like it was written by the PR or marketing department of the newspaper being described. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.243.212.117 (talk) 17:43, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Intern anti-Semitism

In June 2011, an intern was suspended after he commented personally on Facebook "You racists! No wonder Hitler killed all the Jews, because you’re all a bunch of racists." (See: "M&G intern suspended for Facebook Holocaust comment)
