JOHANNESBURG – Media Monitoring Africa says it’s encouraged that the new South African Broadcasting Corporation’s editorial policy protects children’s rights.Media Monitoring Africa director William Bird said the organisation had also recommended an internal ombudsman for complaints.
He said while that didn’t come through, the new policy recognises the Press Council and the broadcaster can be held accountable by the Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa . The new SABC editorial policy makes the head of news and current affairs the editor in chief, stripping the group chief executive officer of those powers.
This also means the upward referral policy that was introduced under the former chief operations officer Hlaudi Motsoeneng is now scrapped.“Children are covered in a number of different ways and that’s really important because you’re talking about putting the most vulnerable and marginalised group in South Africa central to your editorial policy.”
