Nosweek website Last month, investigative journalism magazine Noseweek lost a defamation case against senior attorney Leonard Katz. The magazine's editor, Martin Welz, and its owner and publisher, Chaucer Publications, were ordered to pay R330 000 in damages, plus Katz's legal costs. As a result, Welz says Noseweek is "unlikely to survive" as a print publication. Irreverent investigative magazine Noseweek, which for the past 28 years has lampooned SA's rich and famous, may be forced to close following a court ruling that it must pay R330 000 plus costs to a senior attorney at law firm Edward Nathan Sonnenbergs. In an email to subscribers, the magazine's editor Martin Welz said Noseweek as a print publication was "unlikely to survive", but may continue online.
