Freedom of the Press/History/Country sources/South Africa
South Africa’s Progressive Federal Party pushed to include freedom of the press as a part of a Bill of Rights during the drafting of the [[Probable year:: 1983]] South African Constitution, but it was ultimately rejected by the rest of Parliament (SAMEDIA, “PFP’s lone stand on ‘Rights’”). Today, Article 16 of South Africa’s [[Probable year:: 1996]] Constitution protects press freedom: “Everyone has the right to freedom of expression, which includes…freedom of the press and other media" (Constitute Project, “South Africa’s Constitution of [[Probable year:: 1996]] with Amendments through [[Probable year:: 2012]]” ).
