White Rock Communications
White Rock Communications constitutes the work of Carole Knight, the writer, across different media.
“Bridging Waters” - a GTZ-SADC Transboundary Water Management Documentary Series
In February 2009 Carole was commissioned to research and write the scripts for this four-part documentary series, which comprises four 25-minute documentaries filmed in a high-definition format:
Documentary One - “Co-operation not Conflict - Sharing Water and Benefits” - Kunene River
Documentary Two - “Prosperity not Penury - Alleviating Poverty” - Orange-Senqu River
Documentary Three - “Development not Disaster - Combating Disasters” - Zambezi River
Documentary Four - “Integration not Exclusion - Building the Future” - Limpopo River
Independent Newspapers
Carole’s print media speciality is the big, prestigious, researched feature and as such she has written profiles on South Africa’s most eminent personages, notably the late international industrialist Dr Anton Rupert, past President Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu and past President Thabo Mbeki , which were published across all major Independent Newspapers’ titles (combined readership 1 433 000 - AMPS 2006) (please see pdfs on past Presidents Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki as examples).
Her work comprises a strong social responsibility component as seen in a double-broadsheet Wall Chart and Resource Guide on Drug Awareness for the Cape Argus published in July 2006.
It also focuses on environmental and sustainability issues as seen in her 2007/2008 Cape Argus Sustainability Series (readership 336 000 - AMPS 2007), a series which she conceptualised, researched, wrote and coordinated.
Because of the outstanding response to the Cape Argus Sustainability Series, with five features going to 14 broadsheets, the Sustainability Series was transferred to the Cape Times in 2009.

Expo Zaragoza 2008
In April 2008 Carole was commissioned to conceptualise, research and write all the different media for the South African Pavilion for Expo Zaragoza 2008, an international water expo held in Zaragoza, Spain, from 14 June to 14 September 2008, which was dubbed the “biggest water festival on Earth”, at which 106 countries exhibited with 140 pavilions - please see www.zaragozaexpo2008.com .
South Africa, via the then Department of Water Affairs and Forestry (DWAF) and Kagiso Exhibitions, pulled out all stops with a South African Pavilion of exceptional creativity and excellence - please see www.kagisoexpoct.co.za/zaraimages which shows the Pavilion during its construction phase.
The project proved to be an extremely challenging but fascinating commission due to the tight deadlines and the extent of the work which included three timelines, concepts and copy for nine huge backlit panels, a comprehensive touch screen system, a website and various print media. The website for the South African Pavilion is http://www.southafricapavilion2008.co.za/
