SECTOR 2

New businesses are created every day and they need advertising. The
problem is, media houses are all running after the same advertisers. If
they only expect to get advertising from the government and a handful
of companies, then they may not be hustling enough. Community radios
understand this and go to the informal sector. We need to know that
things are hard and cease to be selective.
Competition from alternative platforms such as social media has also grown.
Most individuals and small business have turned to online advertising. ‘The
challenge for the media is to adapt to these changes.’
