Still in it.
Still building.
Still Hectic.
A weekly newsletter for African media and communications professionals. Opportunities, stories, and trends.
Subscribe on Substack→Hectic started in 2020 as a word we couldn't let sit. In South Africa, 'hectic' is sometimes what you say when something is serious and you don't know what else to say and how to respond. We built this site to push past that — to interrogate the media, ask why stories get told the way they do, and refuse to scroll on.
Still Hectic, our latest product, is that same impulse with a new shape. The world is still hectic. We're still in it.
Every issue,
three things.
Roles worth your time. No bulk job dumps — just opportunities someone actually vetted.
The stories making moves in African media right now. Already framed so you know why they matter.
Trends changing the industry. Arrive at every conversation already ahead of it.
