GMMP 2009/2010 Training module A guide to the radio monitoring materials Section 1: The story
An international initiative… Because media monitoring is taking place in over 100 different countries across the globe, it is critical that all participants have a uniform understanding of the way the monitoring materials should be applied. Please use this presentation as a means of familiarising yourself with the materials and becoming comfortable with their application.
Starting off To begin coding you will need: • A pencil (not pen) • An eraser • The recording of the radio newscast • A radio news coding sheet
Guidelines A transcript of the radio broadcast for this tutorial is in the box to the right. Read it and then respond to the questions on the subsequent slides. Anchor: South Africa's ambassador to Indonesia Norman Mashabane has won his appeal against an internal disciplinary hearing which found him guilty of sexual harassment in 2001 and again in 2003. The Department of Foreign Affairs issued a short statement on the matter yesterday. Department spokesperson Ronnie Mamoepa was not available for comment. With me in the studio is Sandra Botha, spokesperson for the Democratic Alliance. Ms Botha, what is your reaction to this development? Sandra Botha: It's difficult to understand what could have led to this decision. On the face of it, the evidence against him was strong. There were 22 counts, so it was not just his word against one other person's. It's astonishing. Anchor: Is the Democratic Alliance considering any further action? Sandra Botha: We have already approached the office of the public prosecutor to probe the Department's handling of Mashabane's case. We'll continue to investigate, and we'll be taking a closer look at the appeal process that cleared him. After each question, the correct answer will be shown and an explanation will be given. The transcript will remain in the right hand pane for the duration of the quiz. Good luck!
