SBS has launched a range of new podcast products, designed to be both accessible for English learners and welcoming, catering to the needs of persons with disabilities. In a commitment to enhance news accessibility, the organization now provides a daily five-minute news wrap that simplifies current events for these audiences. This new initiative greatly supports language learning for all. It’s equally important for people with disabilities to have broad access to news and information that keeps them connected with the world around them.
The Discover English podcast “News in English” is designed to enable listeners to build their English language skills. At the same time, it ensures they’re the first to know about what’s happening in their industry. This new program is breaking down the important milestones with easily digestible language that helps even non-native speakers unpack difficult subjects.
Alongside “News in English,” SBS airs “On the Money,” a ten-minute finance and business news wrap. Hosted by SBS Finance Editor and renowned journalist, Ricardo Gonçalves. It simplifies complex financial news and trends into digestible insights. Listeners should come away with a better sense of what’s happening economically without drowning in technical language.
SBS has smartly distributed these podcasts across multiple platforms. That’s allowing listeners to more conveniently get the latest climate news right through their favorite podcast applications. This action represents SBS’s continued dedication to meeting the needs of complex and diverse audiences. It allows all of us to be plugged into what’s happening on the issues that matter most.
By bringing these shorter and more accessible news formats to life, SBS continues to show their commitment to communication accessibility and fostering inclusivity among their audience. SBS is showing the way for innovative and inclusive media organizations. Through these and other efforts, they are putting the needs of English learners and individuals with disabilities first so that they can better serve their communities.
