Neither the NMC nor the NCA prescribes what type of content broadcasters should carry. The NMC, however, has a document outlining Broadcast Standards, but the emphasis of this document, viewed as out-dated and with a need for review, is on the public sector. Nevertheless, there are private broadcasters who cover public interest topics. In fact, a panellist noted that “some do this better than state-owned media, who focus more on public relations for government.” For instance, in a political dispute, opposition rallies might be covered more effectively and objectively in private than in public media. Panellists were divided on how well the private media deliver cultural, environmental and health programmes. Stations such as Oman FM, UTV, and TV Africa were highlighted as providing cultural programming on their stations. 38 AFRICAN MEDIA BAROMETER GHANA 2017
