World Radio Day, is an
international day celebrated on 13 February each year. The Day was decided by
UNESCO on 3 November 2011 during its 36th conference.
13 February marks World Radio Day (WRD), a celebration of the
powerful medium that has informed, entertained, and educated people around the
world for over a century. The United Nations General Assembly adopted the
resolution of World Radio Day on 14 January 2013, recognizing the importance of radio
as a source of information, entertainment, and education for all.
With the rise of digital technologies, radio is
facing challenges such as low revenue, technological disruption, and
censorship. However, it continues to remain an essential tool for reaching
people who lack internet access or are otherwise disconnected.
World Radio Day is an opportunity to celebrate the
medium of radio as a source of information, entertainment, and education. It is
also a reminder of the importance of radio as a tool for promoting inclusive
communication and social cohesion.
