THE MIDDLEMAN WITH POWER – PHUMZILE ZONKE
EXPLOITATION IN THE MEDIA AND CREATIVE ARTS INDUSTRIES
From former SABC Head of Channel Phumzile Zonke comes a brave step of advocacy and empowerment that equips aspiring creative artists and emerging broadcast media professionals with nuanced discussions and strategies to help them overcome #TheMiddlemanWithPower.
Amidst all the purported glitz and glamour, the South African showbiz landscape remains a melting pot of two opposing extremes. On one hand, the enterprises that manage and distribute works of art and own the intellectual property are raking in millions; whereas on the other hand, the artists producing these works of art continue to die as paupers with nothing to show for their efforts besides declining mental health. In this book, you will learn that in the media and the creative arts industries, nothing is as it seems. Popular culture paints a picture of creative artists and media practitioners suffering ongoing abuse and exploitation at the hands of record labels, film and television production companies, and book publishing houses. The Middleman With Power takes a deep dive into the business value chain of these industries and interrogates their decision-making processes to explore the validity of the assertions being made against them.
It’s a race against time as we figure out what is really going on behind the scenes. Who is the Middleman? What power does he have? Whose interests is he serving? Should creative artists and broadcast media practitioners cut out this Middleman completely? Or should they seek a new one? Who cares? And does any of this even matter?
WISDOM ON A WARD ROUND – LAVINIA VAN DER LINDE
Medicine is a profession filled with books – textbooks, logbooks, patient files, prescription books, journals, pocketbooks, e-books, library books, and of course, an extraordinary number of notebooks.
During the training to become a doctor, these notebooks are filled with a remarkable number of words – words to be memorized, read for clinic tutorials, jotted during lectures, presented on rounds, remembered for exams, or heard in hospital passages. Sometimes, words about life.
This compilation of anecdotes, extracted from some of those notebooks, are words uttered mostly on ward rounds.
HOW TO GROW A STONE – JASON COLDICOTT
What is the difference between the ordinary and the extraordinary, the mundane and the magical, the impossible and the possible?
This book enables one to join a thrilling step-by-step journey of transformation which will captivate the attention of all readers, regardless if they are well versed in spirituality or possess little to no subject knowledge. With a heavy focus on pragmatic applications that neatly bridge the divide between one’s day-to-day experiences and deeper spiritual insight, the process challenges a person to change on a fundamental level in order to gain new understanding of life, intent, and awareness. It will enable anyone to look at their own life and viewpoints from a universal perspective.
It is a valuable tool that will gradually guide readers to move from ordinary states of perception into the extraordinary facets of awareness that are rarely accessible in the course of an average life – the place where the magic waits.
