13 February is a date proclaimed by UNESCO to celebrate radio broadcast, improve
international cooperation among radio broadcasters and encourage decision-makers
to create and provide access to information through radio, including community
radios.
It’s an occasion to draw attention to the
unique value of radio, which remains the medium to reach the widest audience and
is currently taking up new technological forms and devices.
UNESCO encourages all countries to celebrate
this Day by undertaking activities with diverse partners, such as national,
regional and international broadcasting associations and organizations,
non-governmental organizations, media organizations, outlets as well as the
public at large.
Let's celebrate!
