Right2Know workshop on Digital Television in South Africa

Dear R2Kers, friends and colleagues

INVITE TO A WORKSHOP ON DIGITAL BROADCASTING – 29 OCTOBER 2012

South Africa is on the brink of moving to digital television. There are promises and pitfalls…

Promises include new channels, new programmes and better picture quality.

Pitfalls include the costs of rolling out the digital network, the cost to citizens of buying new decoders (set top boxes) to access the digital signal and the costs to broadcasters of producing new programming.

The R2K campaign is holding a workshop with international broadcasting expert Russell Southwood to begin to understand, unpack, debate and dissect these issues.

Come join the conversation!

* When? 29 October 2012 from 9:30am to 1pm

* Where? 133 Second Ave, Melville (Corner 10th Street)

Please RSVP by Friday 26 October to Mark Weinberg:
