Today's Wall Street Journal takes a look at South Africa's Daily Sun newspaper. It's pretty fascinating: "The Daily Sun offers an eclectic stew, integrating the news of the day with heavy doses of soccer and sex. It covers the comings and goings of local witches known as sangomas and troll-like spirits called tokoloshe, which other newspapers shun as silly superstitions. 'You're not going to be received in this market if you view ancestor worship as an oddity,' [publisher Deon] du Plessis says unapologetically. 'Beeld,' a major paper read by white Afrikaaners, 'would hardly denounce the existence of the Holy Trinity.'" [WSJ]
