Trevor Ncube, the chairman of The Board of Mail and Guardian in South Africa, highlighted the importance of making a business profitable for riches to be sustainable. He was speaking at the Press Freedom Round Table at the World Newspaper Congress in Hyderabad.

"It's important to have a private media that has a mission in its heart and business in its mind," Ncube said.


In addition, Ncube is worried about the danger of being corrupted. During the discussion he stated, "we find in many developing companies with media are susceptible to being corrupted."
