Media diversity supports, promotes, deepens, consolidates and strengthens democracy, nation building, social cohesion and good governance. Our government should ensure that every citizen has access to a diverse range of sources of information and media in languages of their choices (in particular indigenous languages). Newspapers, radio and television are expensive to produce, you need to pay journalists, photographers to take the pictures, sub editors to put the stories and pictures in, printers to print, a w hole network to distribute to the point of sale.
