Licensing
The South Sudan Media Authority is responsible for licensing all media enterprises operating in South Sudan, including broadcast, print, and online media. The SSMA issues licenses by the Media Authority Act, 2013, which sets out the requirements for obtaining a license.
To obtain a license from the SSMA, a media enterprise must submit an application that includes the following information:
1. The name and address of the media enterprise 2. The type of media service that the enterprise will provide 3. The area of operation of the enterprise 4. The technical capacity of the enterprise 5. The financial resources of the enterprise 6. The names and qualifications of the enterprise's directors and staff
The South Sudan Media Authority will review the application and issue a license if it is satisfied that the enterprise meets all of the requirements. The license will specify the type of media service that the enterprise is authorized to provide, the area of operation of the enterprise, and the duration of the license. The South Sudan Media Authority has the power to suspend or revoke a license if a media enterprise breaches the terms of its license or the Media Authority Act, 2013. The South Sudan Media Authority's licensing process is important for ensuring that media enterprises in South Sudan meet certain standards of professionalism and ethics. The licensing process also helps to promote pluralism and diversity in the media landscape.
