The Commonwealth Broadcasting Association (CBA) is about to run a course which is a World First: a distance-learning course on broadcasting regulation.
It is delivered online and involves the use of e-mail as well as the course chat forum. It takes place from 28th May to 9th July 2010. It is supported by UNESCO. Based on the CBA/UNESCO Guidelines for Broadcasting Regulation, the course tutor is Eve Salomon, author of the Guidelines. Eve is an international expert with truly global experience and she provides careful guidance to participants who want to learn to be better broadcasting regulators.
The course runs over 6 weeks and cover the entire range of issues faced by broadcasting regulators: from licensing to content standards, from regulatory processes and procedures to applying sanctions. The final week will concentrate on digital broadcasting and new technologies. The aim of the course is not to tell regulators how to do their job, but to help people explore how best international practice could be applied to their situation. The course takes an action-learning approach and each participant is encouraged to identify how they can influence change in their own regulatory authority. Anyone involved in broadcasting regulation, from the very top of the Board to administrators, will benefit from this thought-provoking course and the interaction with fellow regulators from around the world.
It is open free to CBA member organisations and at a modest charge to others.
