Every year, there’s the major political events that draw the attention… the ones where world leaders from politics, finance, technology – and all the other consequential industries – converge in a single location, to discuss the great geopolitical issues of the day.

Such events are essential news stories for media institutions, ensuring the decisions being made – or sometimes, are not being made – are being conveyed to their audience back home. After all, the decisions made in those corridors of power affect billions of people and the world we live in.

This episode explores what it means to be the host broadcaster, the challenges that come from it, the pressure to get it right, and why it’s a particularly important responsibility for public media.

Guests: Nomsa Chabeli, Group CEO, SABC & Braulio Ribeiro, Director of Engineering and Operations, EBC. Presenter: Harry Lock. Music: Tom Brazier.
