City Press Email Contact Details
To contact City Press Email, email tips@news24.com (News tips and confidential information).
City Press is a South African Sunday newspaper published by Media24, with its journalism carried on the News24 platform.
Use the newsroom’s own tip-off channel rather than a general address. Tips sent to a general enquiry address are handled differently and more slowly.
This page covers how to reach City Press by email. The details below were read from the publisher’s own pages rather than from any third-party directory.
ContactDetails.co.za is an independent directory. We are not City Press and cannot act on your behalf, publish your story or forward your complaint.

City Press no longer publishes a separate newsroom switchboard. Its title site redirects to News24, and editorial contact runs through the publisher’s channels. The only telephone number on the publisher’s about page belongs to the Press Council, which is an independent body rather than the newspaper.
Sending a tip to the newsroom
A tip that can be acted on looks different from a general complaint. Journalists need something they can verify independently.
- State what happened, where, and when, in the first two lines.
- Say what documents or recordings you hold, without attaching everything at first.
- Say whether you are willing to be named, or whether you need to stay anonymous.
- Give a contact method that works for you, and say when you can be reached.
- Do not send original documents. Send copies, and keep the originals.
A newsroom cannot promise to publish, and will not confirm whether it is working on a story. Silence is not a rejection.
What City Press cannot do for you
A newspaper is not a complaints service. People often write to a newsroom after exhausting other routes, hoping coverage will force a resolution. That is not how it works, and it usually costs time you could spend on a route that does resolve matters.
- It cannot make a company refund you, repair something, or reverse a decision.
- It cannot give legal advice or act as your representative.
- It cannot take up every matter sent to it, and most tips do not become stories.
Complaints about what was published
If your complaint is about City Press coverage itself, raise it with the publisher first and set out precisely what was inaccurate and what you want corrected. Give the date, the headline and the specific statements at issue.
Keep your own record of what you sent and when. A complaint that identifies exact passages is far more likely to produce a correction than a general objection to a story’s tone.
Avoiding fake City Press contact addresses
Media names are used in advance-fee and competition scams. City Press does not run competitions that require a payment to claim a prize, and it does not ask for banking details by email.
- Check any address against news24.com rather than against a message you received.
- Treat an address on a free mail domain claiming to be the City Press newsroom as false.
- Never pay to have a story published, and never pay to claim a prize.
