Integration of Social Media Records Into Enterprise Content Management at the South African Broadcasting Corporation in the Limpopo Provincial Office in South Africa INTEGRATION OF SOCIAL MEDIA RECORDS INTO ENTERPRISE CONTENT MANAGEMENT AT THE SOUTH AFRICAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION IN THE LIMPOPO PROVINCIAL OFFICE IN SOUTH AFRICA by Moshohli Frans Masekoameng Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject Information Science at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: Prof. M Ngoepe ABSTRACT The integration of social media records into enterprise content management systems is crucial to organisations as it enables them to have access to these records if they are required for evidential purposes. However, despite social media content being considered as official records in state-owned enterprises, they are often left unmanaged. The purpose of this study was to investigate the integration of social media content into the enterprise content management system at the South African Broadcast Corporation Limpopo provincial office in South Africa. The study utilised quantitative data collected through questionnaires distributed to SABC employees and employees at three radio stations in the Limpopo provincial office (Munghanalonene FM, Thobela FM and Phalaphala FM). The key results suggest that there were no policies or guidelines on the management of digital records that emanated from social media. It was discovered that the SABC’s Limpopo provincial office opened official accounts with various social media platforms such as SNSs, online content communities and podcasts to use for official matters; yet content generated through these platforms is neither managed nor preserved. It has been established that the responsibility of managing social media content is unconsciously assigned to the creators of the content as no official records management responsibilities were assigned. It is recommended that digital records emanating from the use of social media by the staff of the SABC Limpopo provincial office need to be treated and managed as official records, like all other paper-based records. In this regard, a policy for integration of social media content into enterprise content management is desirable. A further study on the development of a framework to integrate social media content into organisational records management is recommended. Key words: social media content, social media platform, enterprise content management, digital records, records, records management, online content communities, South African Broadcasting Authority. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First of all, I would like to thank God Almighty for the grace, strength and perseverance to complete this study. Secondly, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to my supervisor, Professor Mpho Ngoepe, for his patience and consistent guidance, tolerance, support and motivation throughout this study.

  • RAMS March 2016
    1 STATION AUDIENCE - Past 7 day Statistical MarGin of Error Explanation Over and above the thousands oF listeners and percentages oF the total adult population For each radio station, the Station Audience tables also indicate the range (both in percentages and thousands) in which the true audience Figure lies, with a statistical certainty oF 95%. Let us look at an example: 5FM - 1,817,000 past 7 day listeners, 4.7% oF total adults - RAMS March 2016. The table indicates that there is a range oF plus or minus 0.23%; and plus or minus 89,000 listeners. This means that we can be 95% certain that the true value oF 5FM lies somewhere in the range (4.7 – 0.23% to 4.7 + 0.23%, that is, 4.47% to 4.93%) or (1,817,000 – 89,000 to 1,817,000 + 89,000, that is, 1,728,000 to 1,906,000 listeners). It is important to bear these ranges in mind when comparing listenership From one RAMS release to another. The audience Figures For RAMS November 2015 also have a range oF possible values, and only when there is no overlap between the RAMS November 2015 and RAMS March 2016 ranges, is the audience Figure in the one RAMS release signiFicantly diFFerent From the other release, with a 95% degree oF statistical certainty. In the case oF 5FM, the RAMS November 2015 release was 1,745,000 past 7 day listeners, 4.6% oF total adults. The RAMS November 2015 table indicates that there was a range oF plus or minus 0.23%; and plus or minus 88,000 listeners.

  • 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.

  • Monday, 29 June 2020 HEALTH
    MEDIA STATEMENT To: Editors & Health Journalists Issued by: Department of Health Date: Monday, 29 June 2020 HEALTH DEPARTMENT LAUNCHES CHILD HEALTH RADIO CAMPAIGN SEASON TWO Pretoria: The Department of Health in partnership with SABC Foundation will this week (Monday, 29 June 2020) launch season two of child health radio campaign known as Side-By-Side. These weekly radio drama series shows will broadcast across the country on the SANC radio stations over a period of a year. This follows an enormously successful season one which served as a pilot project that reached approximately 4.3 million listeners each week. Aired on 11 SABC Radio stations, in nine official languages, the radio campaign follows the stories of young mothers Luphumzo, Babalwa, and Joyce and the men and women who help and hinder them as they negotiate pregnancy and parenting – because it takes a village to raise a child. The campaign covers topics such as breastfeeding, early nutrition, children’s right to play, language development, protection from harm, common childhood illnesses, and scenarios where children and their caregivers need extra care and support. This will present an opportunity to educate mothers and caregivers whose children missed the immunisation dates due fear caused by COVID-19 lockdowns to ensure that they keep their children up-to-date with immunisation The weekly shows also explore critical social issues like gender-based violence, alcoholism and HIV. An interactive question and answer session at the end of each show gives listeners the opportunity to talk to an expert on ECD, ask questions and even share their own parenting stories.
