Judges’ comments
This entry has all the elements that is required for a
radio production. Different stakeholders were interviewed to throw light
on the issue, from testimonies of family members who lost their loved ones to
health officials and ordinary citizens. However, the use of language by the
producer in her presentation, coupled with some limitations in pronunciation is
the only weak areas of the radio piece presented. It will be good that
she works on language, does more reading and practice to improve her diction
for good radio programming.
