Would the NCCA welcome dialogue with media outlets and the national broadcaster on the issues that were raised in the review? I ask because such an exchange might help them. The media and the national broadcaster looks at listenership figures. They are interested but they do not look at the pressure cooker atmosphere that is in the homes of the students and parents. I have no doubt that the pressure cooker atmosphere was part of the review and conversation that the NCCA had in the review.
