"On this World Day, we celebrate the power of radio to reflect and promote diversity in all its forms".
- Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO, on the occasion of World Radio Day
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 organizations and operations.
Happy World Radio Day!
