No, media is not reflected in the Article 16 of New South African's Bill of Right. The Article is more on the constitutional limitations. The Media is reflected instead in Article 4 of the Bill. The Article 4 is entitled "Freedom of Speech, Assembly, and information".

Section 1 states "there shall be freedom of thought, speech, expression and opinion, including a free press, which shall report and comment fairly and respect the right to reply."
