Bethlehem News Spot

Bethlehem News Spot is a community digital media platform based in the township of Bohlokong in Bethlehem in the Free State. The project was set up to expand the community’s worldview, provide fresh local news, important information, and education content, and to give a voice to the community. Bethlehem News Spot was started in 2016 by Lucky Maseko as a simple Facebook page that updated people about what is happening locally after he saw a gap caused by a lack of information in his community. The company was officially registered in 2020 and is now a recognized media platform in the community. The media house is still growing and is expected to grow even bigger once it receives proper funding.

Bethlehem News Spot has built a solid relationship with the community and has proven to be a reliable source of information. The digital publication strives to report on issues that affects the community and thus enforce proper service delivery which has always been one of the top priorities of the online platform. The community of Bohlokong and surrounding areas relies on the publication to report and fast-track service delivery issues in the area.

The project gives the community a chance to make any progressive suggestions with their special live streams which are used to get feedback from the public and note challenges that are faced by the community. The project gets involved in different community projects such as food and clothes drive campaigns, and with campaigns that speak up against gender-based violence. The online media platform also promotes coverage of news and events that educates the youth.

Access to diversified media for all
