SECTOR 4 Many commercial radio stations seem to be biased towards South Africa: covering South African, instead of Namibian, news and sports, for example. This is perhaps as a result of them not having their own news teams and relying on cheap, or even free, South African news feeds.

Scores: Individual scores: 1 Country does not meet indicator 2 Country minimally meets aspects of the indicator. 3 Country meets many aspects of indicator but progress may be too recent to judge. 4 Country meets most aspects of indicator. 5 Country meets all aspects of the indicator and has been doing so over time. Average score: 3.1 (2005 = 3.1; 2007 = 3.7) 4.4 Media uses language/s that reflect the linguistic diversity of the target area and that of marginalised groups. Analysis: The state broadcaster does attempt to reflect the linguistic diversity within Namibia with its 10 different radio services. The recent arrival on the airwaves of the NBC San station !Ah, the first of its kind in the country, is a very positive development. The various indigenous language news broadcasts on NBC TV also help to reflect the linguistic diversity within the country. Apart from these news bulletins, however, all other programming on television is in English. TV news is not broadcast in German or Afrikaans. The mainstream media, especially the four daily newspapers, are published mostly in English, Afrikaans and German. The Namibian, Republikein and New Era publish articles in various Namibian languages (see indicators 2.1 and 2.7), while AFRICAN MEDIA BAROMETER NAMIBIA 2009 61
