============
A cost-effective medium of communication, radio has played a vital role in reaching out to remote communities and vulnerable populations for ages. A day dedicated to highlighting the pivotal role of radio, UNESCO established World Radio Day to be observed on February 13, every year.
Radio is a form of mass media and communication that usually transmits music, news, and other programmes from a single broadcast station. Since its origin, radio has been a primary medium of communication.
From World War I to the present day, it has connected people from different remote regions, including rural and tribal areas where connectivity has been a big challenge. It has helped create awareness, educate, and connect the masses through a single device.
As we gear up to celebrate World Radio Day 2024, let us take a closer look at the history, significance, and theme.
History
Radio was invented in 1895 by an Italian physicist and inventor named Guglielmo Marconi. He is credited for being the first to develop a practical and successful system of wireless communication.
Following the invention, the radio became one of the most important forms of communication of the 20th century, revolutionising the way people received and shared information. Radio broadcasting became a vital source of news, entertainment, educational content, and connecting communities. The radio continues to play a significant role in our lives today as well. It serves as a source of information and entertainment while helping connect people around the world.
In 2011, the member states of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared February 13 World Radio Day. It was then adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2013 as an international event.
Significance
The importance of observing World Radio Day is to acknowledge the unique power of radio as a medium of communication. Radio is a fast, accessible, and cost-effective way to reach out to large audiences, making it an ideal medium for sharing information, promoting awareness, and connecting communities.
Theme
The theme to celebrate World Radio Day changes each year and is designed to focus attention on specific aspects of the role of radio in society. The theme for World Radio Day 2024 is ‘Radio: A century informing, entertaining and educating.’
