MUBAS Media House is a dynamic initiative established to enhance media innovation, training, and production in Malawi. It consists of four key components: a radio and television station, a production house, equipment rental services, and specialized short-term training programs for the media industry. The foundation of this project was made possible through the support of the Malawi Communications and Regulatory Authority (MACRA), which provided broadcasting equipment to the Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences (MUBAS). This equipment enables the Journalism and Media Studies department to promote local content while offering practical learning opportunities for students and professionals.
The media landscape in Malawi has evolved significantly since the introduction of media pluralism, leading to an increase in private radio and television stations. However, the print media sector remains dominated by a few players. This growth has given Malawians more choices in what they watch and listen to, moving away from the era when the state-owned Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) was the sole broadcaster. Despite this progress, there is still a need for more locally produced content that reflects Malawi’s culture, stories, and perspectives.
A major challenge in the industry is the lack of high-quality local content and limited access to production equipment and skilled technicians. Many media houses struggle to create professional productions due to financial constraints and a shortage of resources. MUBAS Media House steps in to address these gaps by providing affordable equipment rentals, production services, and hands-on training. This ensures that media practitioners have the tools and skills needed to produce compelling local content.
Beyond broadcasting, MUBAS Media House serves as a hub for creativity and learning. The production house supports content creators by offering studio facilities, editing services, and technical expertise. Additionally, the media house provides tailor-made short courses to equip journalists, filmmakers, and media professionals with the latest industry skills. These training programs are designed to meet the evolving demands of the media sector, fostering innovation and professionalism.
By combining education, production, and industry collaboration, MUBAS Media House plays a pivotal role in shaping Malawi’s media future. It not only strengthens the capacity of media professionals but also enriches the media landscape with diverse, homegrown content. Through its multifaceted approach, the media house empowers storytellers, enhances media quality, and contributes to a more vibrant and inclusive Malawian media industry.
