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.
