The NAB has announced that Kagiso Media Radio CEO, Nick Grubb, was elected as the chairperson of the NAB, and SABC s head of policy and regulatory affairs, Philly Moilwa, as the deputy chairperson for the 2024/2025 term.
In times of crisis and great flux, radio continues to provide trusted information, entertainment and a sense of routine.
We’ve
learned a great deal about Covid-19, and it’s hard to believe that just seven
months ago, the stockpiling of food, alcohol and toilet rolls dominated the
media headlines.
Both
traditional and online media were covering this deadly virus from wherever they
could, and all sorts of remedies and video clips went viral through social
media. Consequently, government stepped in to criminalise the spreading of
disinformation on Covid-19. They also engaged the media, telcos and non-profit
organisations to address this.
