Question

Which model of e-governance is characterized by the one-way dissemination of information from the government to the public using ICTs?

• A. Broadcasting Model
• B. Interactive Service Model
• C. Critical Flow Model
• D. E-Advocacy Model

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Broadcasting Model

• One-way Communication: In this model, the government uses technology to broadcast information to the public without a feedback mechanism. It's like a television broadcast or a newspaper ad.

• Information Dissemination: The primary goal is to make government information widely available. This includes publishing laws, policies, reports, and public notices on websites or through social media.

• Limited Interaction: Citizens can access the information but cannot interact directly with the government through the same platform. It's the most basic and initial phase of e-governance.
