To further enhance financial literacy and accessibility for its audience, SBS has launched two creative, news wrap-style programs. The first of these, “On the Money,” is a daily ten-minute summary of what’s going on in the world of finance and business news. Produced by Ricardo Gonçalves, SBS Finance Editor. Providing critical context, perspective, and analysis on today’s most important financial headlines, transforming complicated concepts into easily understandable topics for consumers.
The second initiative, “News in English,” serves the growing population of English learners and those with disabilities. This daily five-minute news wrap provides straightforward summaries of the day’s current events, enabling a broader audience to stay informed. Both programs are a testament to SBS’s dedication to inclusivity and education in the fast-paced worlds of news and finance.
Listeners should have no trouble finding these new offerings on the SBS website. They’re offered as part of an impressive catalog of other original news podcasts. Additionally, the podcasts can be found on popular podcast applications, allowing a wider reach and easier accessibility for users on the go.
On the Money is meant to be an equalizer in the often convoluted world of financial news, giving you the most important information in an easily digestible format. Gonçalves employs clear language and engaging explanations to ensure that even those without a finance background can grasp important concepts. This method takes the mystery out of money and empowers your listeners to feel confident making their own financial decisions.
At the same time, “News in English” was made to be an effective tool for anyone who learns better outside of standard news formats. By focusing on clarity and brevity, this program ensures that all individuals, regardless of their language proficiency or learning needs, have access to critical information. The project is an extension of SBS’s long-standing commitment to building a more inclusive media landscape.
Innovating new methods of content delivery plays an essential role in accomplishing SBS’s mission to educate and inform diverse audiences. In addition, SBS provides culturally relevant financial literacy, with news wraps specifically produced, such as “On the Money” or “News in English.” These efforts bring a new accessibility to news.
