Lesotho Launches Citizen App
Lesotho Television, the only TV channel in the country, is operating under LESOTHO NATIONAL BROADCASTING SERVICE (LNBS). This Maseru based 292 channel on DSTV was born in 1988 during the Papal visit with a minimum 15 minutes broadcast, while some hours were compensated by M-net from South Africa.
Lesotho Television, famously known as LTV by threshold name, grew from stage to stage depending on developing technology and ever changing content.
The News Section
LTV operates in an era of information load. In this situation, this channel 292 has its backbone on the news section. Here it remains now as a curator and aggregator. It sifts through much information to amplify valuable news.
The News section publicises information with intent to influence positive change of the society, by functioning as fact-checkers and gatekeepers. The 21st century digital world prompts LTV news section to counteract against false content, fake news, and misinformation and or hate speeches all which easily reach people through different social platforms.
The news section takes best audio and videos to confirm reality and accuracy of events, and avoids forms of censorship. This section strives to protect trust from the threatening fast growing social media. News section does not present local news only to its viewers, it has gone beyond borders to show news across the world. There’s cross border collaboration with the Southern African Development Community television stations, government owned, through exchange of content.
Thahameso is the morning show of the news wing. This brings more life to television news. The show invites guests to studios for live interviews. Thahameso brings in enticing topics to take care of viewers’ concentration and consumption. The show aims for content that is interesting, appealing and engaging. It is a home for interaction that includes presentation through social platforms. Though this is not fully-fledged exploitation of social platforms, Thahameso intends to invite virtual interviews with guests through this new technology to offer unique content.
The bottom line is for News section with its Thahamiso wing to improve the lives of Basotho, inform the government and protects democracy through reporting.
