A media with a capacity and interest to report issues on national strategies, social justice and inclusion, social progress, environmental sustainability, and enabling regulatory environment can create wealth in society, develop people’s potential to pursue creative and productive lives, and contribute towards equity and equality for all people.

High Performance Culture in the Digital World
[img_assist|nid=1665|title=|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=100|height=67]To create a high performance culture in the broadcast industry, there is a need for management to communicate regularly with the employees, recognize and reward their initiative and endeavor, develop a lifelong mindset and build an employee ownership and confidence on what they are selling for the organization.
As broadcasting is a creative industry, management must be aware of individual needs, and develop a workplace wherein people have space to think, create and share comfortably.
