    T h e Medi a De vel opme nt and Div ersi ty A g e n c y The Position Paper process The Media Development and Diversity Agency (MDDA) Position Paper was finalised taking into account public comments received in February 2001, the public hearings conducted by the parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Communication in March 2001, and consultations with stakeholders throughout 2001. This Position Paper contains the underlying philosophy and rationale of the MDDA, and as such represents government policy that has guided the drafting of the MDDA Bill, which will be debated in Parliament during 2002. The Executive Summary is available in all official languages on request. This Position Paper is also available on the GCIS website: http://www.gcis.gov.za page 1 "Everyone has a right to freedom of expression, which includes: (a) freedom of the press and other media, and (b) freedom to receive or impart information or ideas." From the South African Constitution, Chapter Two, Section 16 "Open debate and transparency in government and society are crucial elements of reconstruction and development. This requires an information policy which guarantees active exchange of information and opinion among all members of society…….. The democratic government must encourage the development of all tiers of media – public, community and private. However, it must seek to correct the skewed legacy of apartheid where public media were turned into instruments of National Party policy; where community media were repressed; where private media are concentrat- ed in the hands of a few monopolies, and where a few individuals from the white community determine the content of media.

  • SABC Presentation on Educational Programmes for Learners And
    SABC Presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Educational programmes for Learners and Educators Preamble The business of Public Broadcasting is not only to reflect its community but to shine a light on social issues… in search of common solutions. “Education is the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that a son of a mineworker can become the head of the mine, that a child of farm workers can become the president of a great nation. It is what we make of what we have, not what we are given that separates one person from another” Dr. Nelson Mandela Achieving maximum Educational impact The fundamental public service principles of universality, diversity, accountability and independence guide our content development strategy and editorial policy. The public service mission is, by definition a service to all citizens. If it is not available to all, it fails in its fundamental purpose. As audiences fragment to different technological receptor systems, educational content provision needs to be accessible on all available electronic media - terrestrial, satellite, cable and broad band networks SABC Education provides content that preserves and develops national culture and identity, language, history and heritage, thus enriching lives and enriching minds – across a variety of media. Establishing our context SABC Education is moving towards adapting content development and delivery to the changing patterns of media consumption. Contextualising this evolving situation and the way educational broadcasting needs to respond to it, is dependent on understanding that technology, the industry, consumer behaviour and the regulatory environment have an interconnected relationship.
