World View today The purpose of World View is to set the cross-cultural agenda for new issues, by reflecting Australia's diversity using richly textured programming. The objective is to foster greater insights and understanding of other cultures, and thereby promote acceptance of diversity in the wider community. MONDAY Monday's program focuses on The Local Game with Attila Mosonyi. This program offers the most diverse coverage and analysis of selected national and international football events, as well as selected highlights from cycling, athletics, netball, volleyball, international Rugby Union, Formula One, MotoGP, sailing, surfing, as well as insights into other sports popular with SBS listeners, such as handball and table tennis. TUESDAY This program is built around an exploration of Australian Society and its values. It seeks to shed light on the diversity of identities and cultures which shape our social fabric, while examining issues of, language, culture, politics, history, and the impact of migration on our society and its economy. It offers perspectives on Australian society from writers, philosophers and sociologists. It also introduces Inside Out, an in-depth look at an international issue of concern . WEDNESDAY Our Wednesday program examines health issues through Healthview and puts aspects of Australian politcs, economic, business and culture under closer scrutiny through segments called Australia in Focus. In Healthview we examine issues affecting the young as well as the elderly, innovations in treatment and in health care, issues affecting the chronically ill and the disabled, alternative medicines, cultural practices and taboos. THURSDAY Our program includes our weekly interactive "Hot Seat" forum in which panellists are grilled about issues of concern to multicultural Australia as well as second and third generation children of migrants. We also have segments on business exploring the various issues involved in starting and succeeding in small business, as well as profiles of ordinary Australians making a contribution through their individual enterprises. FRIDAY This is our arts and music showcase. It includes interviews with emerging and established performers, live music Auditions in the SBS studios, explorations of the performing arts and selected exhibitions, as well as a gig guide for the week ahead. We invite emerging young musicians to contact World View if they are interested in performing live at SBS, and we plan to record musicians performing at selected outside locations. The Friday program includes our highly popular weekly "Movie Review" with guest film reviewer Tim Hunter, who teams up with Greg Dyett to explore the ins and outs of movies from around the world. History: The story so far The English-language cross-cultural program World View was launched in 1995 in response to public requests for a national radio program to act as a "bridge" or "meeting place" for people from diverse cultures and communities yet sharing the national language - English. It was also seen as a resource which children of people from linguistically and culturally diverse backgrounds could use to better understand the society in which they live. World View's team of broadcasters see their role as supporting and stimulating broad community discussion to promote cross-cultural understanding and harmony, while at the same time accepting and celebrating Australia's multicultural heritage. World View presents issues in context, looking at the human impact of events affecting all Australians, and presenting them with insights into identity, culture and community. The program seeks to challenge pre-conceptions and to provide a window to other ideas and cultures. World View has won the major United Nations Association of Australia Peace Prize for Radio and has interviewed a host of notable people, from presidents to prime ministers; from rebels to refugees; from asylum-seekers and actors, to divas and dancers. World View seeks to rigorously explore the diverse views, attitudes and aspirations of all Australians and to provide a voice to the many young Australians who feel they are unrepresented and unheard on mainstream media. One of its primary goals is to inform, entertain and educate Australians about each others' ideas and cultural backgrounds, and in doing so, to better understand the differences which may otherwise divide communities. Its unique position at the centre of 68 language groups within SBS Radio, enables World View staff to draw on the resources of professional language broadcasters and their communities. SBS Radio's state and overseas correspondents are heard regularly on World View to bring their perspectives on cross-cultural issues. >> Back to World View's home page. |
