Financial insights at your fightertips.
By a fortunate stroke of serendipity, it is an honour to receive the prestigious Capital Markets-
Media Coverage Award, just as The AXiS turns one year old. The award was nominated by a
public poll and adjudicated by a judging panel, aiming to recognize journalism which is revelato-
ry, and which has an impact. The award recognises the outstanding work of a media house
whose articles have raised awareness and understanding of developments in the capital mar-
kets. For us, first and foremost, the prerogative is to be an industry leader in economic, business
and financial analysis and reporting. It is a pleasure to be recognized for the frequency and
depth of our reporting on developments within capital markets
Capital markets reporting in the corporate and financial sector requires a critical voice that
questions corporate practices and behaviour. However, following stakeholder theory, media
have no financial stake in a company but play a crucial role in disseminating information and
influence stakeholders, such as investors, and their decision-making processes. We pride
ourselves in playing this crucial societal role, acting as watchdogs for industry because the
distribution of information shapes financial markets. And as Dr Mthimkulu eloquently articulat-
ed, “We are the stewards of society’s futures and a such, we have an unmistakable reporting line
to society”.
We would like to thank Business Weekly and Financial Markets Indaba for recognising our hard
work and our corporate partners and clients for believing in our vision.
