What you should know about The Daily Maverick

Cricket in Johannesburg, Box in Johannesburg, Advertising in Johannesburg, Journalist in Johannesburg

Suspended Cricket South Africa CEO Gerald Majola may or may not have committed a crime when he marred that sport’s reputation so badly, but in a way the whole bonus scandal did the game a favour; it has ensured a revamp of its administrative structure, belatedly dragging it into the professional era. Time now for rugby to follow the suit.

The Daily Maverick is a unique blend of news, information, analysis and opinion delivered from our newsroom in Johannesburg, South Africa. There are many ways to describe exactly what we do (and for the price of a cup of coffee we'll talk your ears off about it), but the best way to understand the end result is to experience it. Every part of The Daily Maverick is free-to-air and no-payment-required, although free registration is required for a small subset of functions and pages. Once-off contributions are entirely at the discretion of readers, (feel free to splurge on us). Our recently announced investigative unit is completely grant-funded and will probably rely on goodwill to continue it's efforts for time to come. Reader Covenant These are our promises to you, and what we expect from you in return. We'll also throw in a whole lot of fun, just to sweeten the deal. In the background, there's a whole lot more to it, of course, but that's all just detail. The Daily Maverick exists to provide you with the news, analysis, insight and opinion that you need. Whether you're required to make big decisions or just want to hold your own over lunchtime conversation, we'll provide the tools. Here's another promise: we won't ever waste your time. We don't let algorithms decide what is important and what is not. Our journalists and editors are humans, and some of the best and most experienced ones around at that. They've spent decades refining the craft and we think they're pretty good at it. And we're not going to let you be ignorant about the latest in arts and culture or science and technology either. We'll do all of that for you, and we'll do it with the greatest of integrity. Nobody will ever pay for our opinions, no matter the size of the chequebook. We will never sell your private information, or let somebody else dictate our agenda, or conspire behind your back. For starters, we expect you to call us out when we screw up, as we inevitably will. We expect you to tip us off to important stuff we might otherwise not know about. We expect you to participate, and share your wisdom and insight with us and with other readers. We're great fans of online anonymity and the benefits it can bring, but this isn't the place for it. Other than that the only rules are those of polite society everywhere. We realise that this requires a lot of trust, more than you would normally invest in a website. When the parent company of Maverick closed its doors, just before the global financial crisis and its accompanying recession started to bite, the editorial team turned its attention online. It comes down to recent history (publishing houses putting techies rather than editors in charge of their websites), money (the wish to spend as little as possible on online content), technology (the wish to dazzle rather than serve the readers and advertisers) and, well, the idea that the rules of good journalism are not applicable online. It shares nothing but some employees and part of its name with the old Maverick magazine, but we like to think that readers can spot the continuation of the ethos from a mile away. Since launching, we've gone on to win some of the biggest digital publishing awards in South Africa, and won over the hearts and minds of almost 700,000 people by pretty much just word of mouth. That says exactly what you think of us, and we're flattered. The child care funding crisis: Is there life after subsidies? Poverty is a scandal but has become a natural part of our reality. I’m proud of my Indian forebears’ contribution to the struggle for freedom.
