The Training Manual on Broadcasting for Pluralism and Diversity, an initiative of ARTICLE 19 – Global Campaign for Free Expression – is certainly a high value work in terms of content, methodology and
its potential as a reference work for users interested in the regulation of broadcasting in Africa.
By gathering a reference group of academics and specialists to design this work, ARTICLE 19 has managed to bring together experiences on regulation that provide a manual that is both a
tool for professional training and a reference for mainstream educational use.
Targeted at African broadcasting regulators,the way in which problems are explained clarifies the regulators role of ensuring a balance in terms of interests, most of the time conflicting ones, to achieve a equitable allocation of frequencies to the public, private and community operators, and in securing the peoples’ right to receive, from the operators, information and quality programmes
that are relevant to the interests of a socially and geographically diverse public.
Having the privilege of joining with the group of experts that designed this manual and the pilot course that tested its content, relevance and educational approach, I would like to make the
following comment :
Regulation by and large and the regulation of communication, in particular, are new realities, and this is why there are legitimate and sometimes misleading understandings about it. Throughout
the manual the dominant belief, that in Africa the regulatory institutions act under government jurisdiction and, for this reason, broadcasting regulation seen as an eminently political activity aimed at restricting individual freedom, namely freedom of expression and of media, is demystified.
If this belief has taken root in some sectors, this is due to the difficulty of interpreting and executing the philosophy and principles underlying the regulation of communication as an asset to society as a whole.
(…)
African regulators have in this manual, a working and training instrument which contributes to the harmonisation of its operational methods."
