2022 World Radio Day: Radio remains most trusted, used media
World Radio Day was proclaimed in 2011 by the Member States of UNESCO, and adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012 as an International Day, February 13 each year is celebrated as the World Radio Day (WRD).
The theme of the 2022 edition of World Radio Day is, “Radio and Trust”.
Radio is a powerful medium for celebrating humanity in all its diversity and constitutes a platform for democratic discourse. At the global level, radio remains the most widely consumed medium. This unique ability to reach out the widest audience means radio can shape a society’s experience of diversity, stand as an arena for all voices to speak out, be represented and heard. Radio stations should serve diverse communities, offering a wide variety of programs, viewpoints and content, and reflect the diversity of audiences in their organisations and operations.
Radio continues to be one of the most trusted and used media in the world, according to different international reports. On the occasion of World Radio Day 2022, UNESCO calls on radio stations worldwide to celebrate this event’s 11th edition and more than a century of radio.
Presently, the radio set seems to be the easiest and most affordable means of telecommunication. Until the invention of social media, it was widely regarded as the only handy medium for information dissemination.
It is the easiest, in the sense that most current electronic devices such as GSM among others have access to radio signals. Most affordable, in the sense that anyone regardless of his/her status can boast of an access to radio communication.
