WORLD RADIO DAY 2022 CELEBRATED ON 13 FEBRUARY

Why in news?

• World Radio Dayis celebrated on 13 February each year to recognize radio as a powerful medium, which brings people together from every corner of the globe, to promote diversity and help build a more peaceful and inclusive world.
• The day was proclaimed in 2011 by the Member States of UNESCO and after being adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012 as an International Day, February 13 became World Radio Day (WRD).
• On the occasion of World Radio Day 2022, UNESCO calls on radio stations to celebrate the Day through three sub-themes:
  • Trust in radio journalism: Produce independent and high-quality content;
  • Trust and accessibility: Take care of your audience;
  • Trust and viability of radio stations: Ensure competitiveness.
