In addition to providing many of these resources, least SBS has created a daily five-minute news wrap designed specifically for English learners and people with disabilities. This campaign is just one of many steps the organization has taken in its pledge to create more accessible news to a variety of audiences. The new format provides concise updates on current events, ensuring that vital information reaches those who may have difficulty accessing traditional news formats.
In addition to this production, SBS has launched radio’s “News in English” service, a five-minute daily news wrap in the same format. This podcast is available to listeners on all major platforms. Perfect for keeping up with the news while you’re out and about! Through the use of well-known podcast applications, SBS is making sure that its content is easily accessible to a wider audience.
Alongside the news wrap, SBS has a specialized podcast focused on economic and money issues called “On The Money.” This program delivers a daily ten-minute summary of finance and business news, providing insights that are essential for anyone interested in economic developments. SBS’s finance editor, Ricardo Gonçalves, brings deep knowledge and bite-sized clarity to an array of confusing financial issues on this podcast.
Both the “News in English” and “On The Money” podcasts reflect SBS’s dedication to enhancing media accessibility and delivering quality content tailored to specific audience needs. By producing short, digestible news segments, SBS aims to empower listeners with knowledge and understanding of current events and financial matters.
These podcasts take advantage of a larger trend in media consumption. As more audiences continue to prefer shorter, more digestible formats, also known as snackable content, SBS empowers limited English proficiency and disability communities through cultural competency training and the creation of innovative resources. This joint effort is key to developing better understanding of the public.
