Influence of Malawi's Cybersecurity Act 2016 on Online Evangelisation among Young Catholics in Blantyre

Frank Mwinganyama

Nairobi: Daystar University, Master Thesis (2024), xi, 89 pp.

"The youth are ardent users of digital media and there is no much difference between virtual and real life for them. So, the Catholic Church has persistently invited the faithful, especially the youth who are the true natives of the digital world, to adopt online platforms for evangelization. Concer ... ns, however, arise from cyber security issues which are part of the online experiences of the users of digital technologies. The prevalence of abuses of digital technology generated a need for legislation to foster a safe environment for those who use online platforms. Malawi’s Electronic Transactions and Cybersecurity Act 2016 is one such legislation aimed at creating a free and safe online environment. Nevertheless, concerns arise regarding the influence and relevance of this Act in Malawi, with certain sections blaming its application for curtailing freedom of expression online. This study sought to investigate the influence of Malawi’s Cybersecurity Act 2016 on online evangelisation among young Catholics in Blantyre. The study had three objectives. First, to explore the motivations and experiences of young Catholics in Blantyre as they engage in online evangelisation. Secondly, to investigate the influence of Malawi’s Cybersecurity Act 2016 on online evangelisation efforts by young Catholics. Thirdly, to assess the perceptions of young Catholics regarding the relevance of Malawi’s Cybersecurity Act 2016 in fostering safe online evangelisation. The researcher employed two theories; Diffusion of Innovation and the Chilling Effects theory of social conformity to rigorously explore the purpose of the study. Participants in this study were purposively sampled and four focus group discussions (FDGs) comprising five and seven participants were chosen for the study. The findings have revealed that there is a significant presence of the youth online platforms that are adopting online evangelisation. It also discovered that there are chilling effects resulting from the political weaponisation of the cyber laws contained in the Act. Consequently, the relevance of the Act in fostering a safe environment was questioned as it is compromised. The researcher recommended further research on other demographics and using different research methods may give a more comprehensive picture of the influence of cyber law on online evangelisation."

Hispanic American Catholic Networks: Survey 2023

Guillermo Ares, Gabriel Palermo

Rosario: Buena Nueva Comunicación (BNC) (2024), 26 pp.

"This survey aims to provide valuable information for the creation of potential initiatives and policies that promote, foster cooperation, and offer support to Catholic networks in Hispanic America. At BNC, we leverage our longstanding relationships with the personnel of these networks and the effec ... tive mechanisms of communication and fraternal dialogue we have established with them. This allows us to speak confidently and responsibly about the information we have collected. Building upon our initial study conducted years ago [= 2013], we have chosen to maintain the same approach in terms of the topics to be evaluated and the questionnaire used. The survey is designed to collect quantifiable data to help us identify variables and trends in the ongoing operation and development of these networks over time [...] We would like to thank everyone at the 39 networks from 13 different countries who took the time and courtesy to respond to our communications and take part in this survey [...] We present the reader with a brief overview of the data we consider important to provide a quick insight and general perspective based on the information collected through this survey: - The positioning of the mixed entity (private capital + ecclesiastical institution) as the legal form of networks ownership. - Seventy-six per cent of broadcasters claim to own the premises from which they operate. Small local private donations provide the main funding, followed by selling advertising or space to third parties. - Small local private donations provide the main funding, followed by selling advertising or space to third parties. - Twenty-six point forty-seven percent (26.47%) of networks broadcast for 12 hours, closely followed by those that broadcast continuously for 24 hours, representing 20.59%. - Forty-five point ninety-five percent (45.95%) of the surveyed network have between 1 and 4 studios. - The distribution of the number of cameras among the networks surveyed shows that the majority (30.77%) have 4 cameras. - When it comes to camera brands, Sony leads with 53.85% of the cameras used by networks. - The editing systems are mostly comprised of between 3 and 2 per network. - Most members of networks are between 26 and 45 years old, and the majority have been in their positions for over 5 years. - Salary payments, investment in infrastructure, satellite rental costs, and purchase of production equipment are the top priorities in terms of urgent material needs to be met. - 90.6% would like to receive some kind of training. - In terms of training, advice and information needs, raising funds through partnerships/donations, creating new content and programmes, and transmission technology are the top three training needs identified by broadcasters. - There is a need for a specific and specialised study in each network to assess both the potential and actual audience, as the methods currently used produce results that are far from conclusive at a professional level. - According to the estimated analyses carried out by networks, 78.1% of the audience is between 36 and 60 years old. Around 57% of the audience are Catholics, while 38% are from the general public. - Thirty-four percent of programming are networks' own productions. - Sixty percent of the content has a religious message, while 40 percent has a general message. - The purchase of third-party programming represents only 10% of the total broadcast programming. - The programming received as donations increased from 6% to 23% compared to the first statistical study. - Devotional content, followed by Church-related topics explored in documentaries, educational programs, interviews, mass events, etc., are the primary components of the programming. - There is a significant lack of content for young and child audiences. - Upgrading equipment for DTT (Digital Terrestrial Television) presents both economic and technical challenges for broadcasters. - It's important to clearly delineate the boundaries between what is web TV and what is a streaming service, and to provide training on the different types of legal regulation regarding programming licenses in relation to cable and over-the-air TV."
