SBS has made real progress in making news more accessible to English language learners and people with disabilities. NFU’s communications shop has pivoted to produce a daily five-minute news wrap. This clear, short format makes it easy for audiences to digest important updates, making it more convenient than ever to stay informed.
The service is designed to cater to the needs of various listeners, ensuring that everyone has access to important news. In addition to the daily wrap, SBS provides a diverse array of news podcasts covering various topics, allowing listeners to choose content that interests them.
Featured in ASHA’s materials is a podcast called “News in English,” produced purposely for non-native English speakers. This podcast aims to provide clear and understandable news coverage, breaking down complex stories into digestible segments. This free resource is designed to support advocates at all levels with the tools to sharpen their language. It further equips them with realistic insights into today’s world.
For anyone else who shares a fascination with finance and business, SBS produces a standalone podcast called “On the Money.” This quarter-hour program provides a speedy, entertaining primer on making sense of all those new rules coming from every direction now. Hosted by SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves, this podcast delivers expert analysis and insights into important economic issues shaping our world.
Listeners can easily catch up with these shows using their favorite podcast app. This flexibility allows users to listen at their own pace and convenience, whether they are commuting, exercising, or simply relaxing at home.
This mix of the daily news wrap plus niche podcasts is a perfect example of how SBS reflects their mission to be inclusive in language. SBS conducts workshops specifically designed for English learners and people with disabilities. This dedication is part of our ongoing efforts to guarantee that important information is disseminated to a wider audience.
