Funding model of the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) has been flagged at the Public Service Media Symposium

The financial funding model of the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) has been flagged as an urgent matter, as panelists discussed the future of public service media in an increasingly challenging digital landscape. The discussions form part of a two-day Public Service Media Symposium in Sandton, north of Johannesburg, hosted by the SOS Support Public Broadcasting Coalition in partnership with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation. Gathered under one roof were media practitioners, policymakers and members of civil society to examine funding, governance, digital transformation and editorial independence. Thato Letsaba s reports.
