Comparing the United Kingdom's Guardian newspaper with its co-owned South African Mail & Guardian Online
This article highlights how one online news organisation in the global south, with no more than three staff and no foreign correspondents, strategically used multiple wire service feeds to successfully cover a significant story more comprehensively than its better-endowed co-owner.
