Sekunjalo CEO Lucien Jacobs
In an exclusive interview, Sekunjalo CEO Lucien Jacobs shared an update on progress towards the launch of The National's vision to build a sustainable, commercially driven media business.
Jacobs confirmed that the recruitment campaign has attracted an overwhelming response, with a significant number of applications received from highly qualified journalism and media professionals. The newly established talent acquisition team has already contacted shortlisted candidates, and interviews are scheduled to commence next week.
"There is an abundance of talented journalists in South Africa, yet employment opportunities within the industry remain limited. We are proud to be creating jobs while contributing to the future of journalism and media freedom," said Jacobs.
He added that The National intends to complete the recruitment process and onboard its new editorial and operational teams within the next two weeks.
