TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS AND ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS 
• Ensure that your first name, surname, student number, the course code number and total number of pages appear on the front cover of your assignment. 
• Assignments must be submitted online via the Turnitin link on your course subject page. Assignments may not be submitted via e-mail. 

Referencing 
• Plagiarism is a serious offence. Do not copy directly from any text unless absolutely necessary. Enclose quotes in inverted commas to indicate that they are not your words, and include an in- text reference with each quote. Paraphrase all the reference comments that you use and include appropriate reference and page numbers. 
• Use the in-text referencing method prescribed by Regenesys under guidelines and policies on the student portal. Consult the referencing mark allocation guide for the minimum number of references needed for this assignment. 
• Full referencing of all sources, including page numbers in in-text referencing, is essential. For example: (Gitman, 2010:15) in text, and then in your reference list: Gitman, L.J. 2010, Principles of Managerial Finance, Cape Town: Pearson Education. 
• Extensive and credible academic references are required to demonstrate that you have researched the topics fully and so that you can substantiate your arguments critically. 

ASSIGNMENT QUESTIONS 
QUESTION 1 [30 MARKS] 
Your course discusses the importance, to policymakers, of understanding the policy environment. Referring to (but not limiting yourself to) your course materials and the SABC Editorial Policies Review, discover and describe the various policy environments that face the SABC. 
You should cover both the general and the specific environments referred to in your course. 
QUESTION 2 [40 MARKS] 
The SABC’s editorial policies have been designed to address (among other areas of importance) the following: 
i. The needs and desires of the SABC’s audiences; ii. The self-imposed ethical standards of the broadcasting industry; iii. The legal and regulatory instruments that govern the SABC; and iv. The duties set out in South Africa’s constitution. 
Firstly, find out exactly what an “editorial policy” is, and define the term. 
Then, for each of the four areas listed above, discover and describe a challenge that faces the SABC. After describing the challenge, name an editorial policy that addresses the challenge, and explain how the policy addresses the challenge.

Tips: • Before attempting to answer the question, explore, step by step, the various SABC editorial policies that are presented in the SABC Editorial Policies Review. Each policy (on programming, news, language, religious content, and so on) presents a detailed justification for the necessity of the policy. (You can also access each policy via the webpage http://web.sabc.co.za/sabc/home/editorialpolicies/policies.) 
• In addition, be sure to visit http://web.sabc.co.za/sabc/home/editorialpolicies/regulatoryinstruments for details of the legislation and regulations that apply to the SABC. 
QUESTION 3 [30 MARKS] 
Your course discusses the National Planning Commission (NPC) Jam of 2011, which made history as the first mass public policy consultation of its kind held in Africa or the Middle East. If necessary, revisit this part of the course to refresh your understanding of the NPC Jam. 
Then explore the SABC’s Editorial Policy Review website (http://web.sabc.co.za/sabc/home/editorialpolicies/thereview), and any other sources of information about the SABC’s policy reviewing process that you can discover. 
Having become fully acquainted with both the NPC Jam and the SABC’s Editorial Policy Review, compare and contrast the two initiatives. 
Your comparison should include analyses of (but need by no means be limited to): 
• The durations of the two initiatives (that is, the hours, days or months allotted to each initiative) [2 marks]; 
• The inclusivity of the two initiatives, as facilitated by information and communication technologies (see note below) [10 marks]; 
• The geographical coverage of the two initiatives [2 marks]; 
• The media coverage received by the two initiatives (and the extent to which the initiatives actively created media coverage for themselves) [4 marks]; 
• The importance of the two initiatives [8 marks]; 
• Any lessons that the NPC Jam might hold for the SABC Editorial Policy Review, and or any lessons from the SABC Editorial Policy Review that would have benefitted the NPC Jam [4 marks].

Note: To get a feeling for “inclusivity facilitated by information and communication technologies”, locate the SABC’s online submission form for review comments, and try submitting a comment of your own. 
• How easy is it to locate the submission form, and how user-friendly is the form once found? 
• Does your comment receive a response that makes you feel heard and included (or that reassures you, at least, that your comment will be noted)? 
• How does this online experience compare with what you know about the NPC Jam experience? 
Include your reflections in your answer. 
IMPORTANT: the cut-off date for public submissions to the SABC policy review process is 29 September 2017 – so don’t delay in submitting your comment!
