About us

WHO WE ARE

The Citizen, edited by Trevor Stevens, and citizen.co.za, edited by Gareth Cotterell, represent the best of what a modern media house can produce. Today’s journalists are storytellers and do so in a variety of ways on numerous platforms. We offer our readers a smooth journey and fully integrated experience across mobile, tablet, print and online. Our value propositions are tailored to fit the various interests of our readers.

Essentially we are a current affairs/news publication bringing our readers cutting edge local, international and business news, also catering to their varied needs (online and in print), extending our offering to sport, soccer, lifestyle and entertainment, travel, motoring, horseracing, and auctions.
