The press we read,
and how we weigh it
We monitor national, regional and trade titles. We name them as subjects of our work, not as partners: no publication listed here has endorsed Elvanto.
What we monitor
Four tiers of source
- 01 · National news. Large outlets such as news24 are widely cited by search engines and AI tools, so one error there travels far.
- 02 · Regional and local. Limpopo and provincial papers often hold the only record of a local matter.
- 03 · Trade and industry. Specialist titles shape how investors, buyers and regulators see a business.
- 04 · Official records. CIPC filings, court rolls and regulator notices anchor facts the press then repeats.
