In another big advance to its news services for English learners and those with disabilities, SBS recently shared plans to roll out expanded captioning options. The organization has branched out to produce a daily five-minute news wrap, created with the express purpose of injecting digestible, understandable news product into your life. This project speaks to how inclusive SBS is and how strongly it believes in reaching all different types of people with accurate information.
The daily five-minute news wrap, available through the SBS News in English podcast, presents essential news updates in a concise format. This service is especially beneficial for people who struggle with the traditional format of journalism. Most importantly, it protects access to that vital issue-oriented information for constituents. Through accessible language and engaging reporting, SBS hopes to inform its listeners, equipping them to better understand the world around them.
In addition to this five-minute segment, their News in English podcast provides excellent context and background on this breaking story. It’s available on all your favorite podcast apps so you can listen to Farhan and Binni whenever and wherever you’d like! This flexibility allows listeners to engage with the news in a manner that suits their lifestyle, whether they are commuting, exercising, or relaxing at home.
SBS sends out a daily news wrap for Transon, don’t miss it! Plus, they offer “On The Money,” a focused podcast that goes in-depth on finance and business news. This podcast provides a comprehensive ten-minute overview of significant developments in the financial world and is presented by SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves. By blending timely reporting with expert insights, “On The Money” serves as an invaluable resource for listeners seeking to stay informed about economic trends.
SBS’s work to improve accessibility through these podcasts is a great example of SBS’s strategy to reach its varied audience in the ways that best meet their needs. By including different content types we can reach the widest possible audience and help foster smart discussions in a range of communities.
