Sean Press recognised as one of SA's most influential media personalities under 40

Sean Press, owner and founder of Contact Media and Communications (Pty) Ltd gets formally recognised by the media industry's most prestigious publication, "The Media" magazine.

The Media’s nationwide search for the most influential and powerful people under the age of 40 in the media industry has been an inspiring experience. Who knew there was this calibre of talent out there with so many years still to go? In truth, when we had our initial list of 45, we were very happy – and then we were flooded with many, many more. It was not an easy task finding the final 40 because there are just so many incredible go-getters in our industry.

 

In this business, there are a number of different forms of power and  influence – in some cases it is financial; in others, it is influence over the public or successfully managing a media team. It was interesting comparing the strength of investigative journalists with media entrepreneurs, station managers or online CEOs. To the best of our knowledge – based purely on readers’ proposals and follow-up research – the following 40 people are the most influential and powerful in this age group. And there are people who were on the list but, as the list grew, they fell off. Our apologies if there are any disappointments. We thank all those who sent proposals and who got as caught up in the excitement of this challenge, as we did.We may have missed some phenomenal people and you may not agree with some who we did choose. If that’s the case, tell us so that next year we can provide an even more comprehensive list. Who knows - it just might grow into something bigger than that…Why do this? Having so many young people doing so well is something of which to be proud and celebrate. And mostly, they are the unsung heroes taking this industry forward. So to all of you on these pages, The Media salutes you!
