("Insight") An Afrikaans opinion-forming weekly journal (along the lines of Time and Newsweek)launched in August 1987 by [[Naspers]], following the closure of the Afrikaans literary magazine [[Tydskrif vir Letterkunde]]. In many ways also in response to the independent Die [[Suid-Afrikaan]] and [[Vrye Weekblad]]

From the start it had a substantial and in-depth arts, culture and particulalry book division. Heavyweight writers of the likes of [[André P. Brink]], [[Hennie Aucamp]] and [[J.C. Kannemeyer]] counted among the early contributors.

In later years '''Insig''' followed a more news-focussed approach, and created a very popular online book review section.

It closed down in 2007, publishing its last issue on June 4th. The online book review section was picked up by [[LitNet]].
