SECTOR 4 3.7 The state/public broadcaster offers diverse programming formats for all interests including local content and quality public interest programmes Panellists are of the opinion that the public broadcaster makes an effort to offer diverse programming formats with a particular emphasis on local and regional content. It promotes public interest through quality content compared to that of private organisations. It can also produce magazines of excellent quality due to partnerships with advertisers. Panellists felt that the only problem is that television and radio news do not get the same qualitative treatment as broadcasts and magazines, and therefore news reports have low quality framing, voice-over or other technical criteria.
