World Radio Day Is Being Celebrated Today

Sunday, 13 February 2022 00:00

Trust in radio journalism is one of the themes for World Radio Day.

Trust in radio journalism is one of the themes for World Radio Day, which is being celebrated today.

UNESCO wants radio stations and listeners to celebrate radio, and the role it plays in society.

Today is world radio day, with a focus on the themes of trust in radio journalism, accessibility, and also the viability of radio stations.

Over 3 million people tune into radio every weekday, according the the latest JNLR results earlier this week.

On average, adults tuned into their favourite stations for 4 hours every day.

Ciaran Cunningham, Chief Executive Officer of Radio Centre Ireland, said despite the challenges radio faced during the pandemic, it has bounced back, and he says this is mainly due to the relationship of trust between radio and listeners.
