Presenting a World Radio Day Minute. Proclaimed in 2011 by UNESCO and endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012 as a UN International Day, February 13 is World Radio Day…
Radio is often called the first social media. Especially two-way talk radio. Radio was also the first electronic media platform that was referred to as broadcasting. It basically means sending a signal from one - or a media base such as a station – to the many, such as the broad-based public. The modern-day term, narrowcasting means sending a signal from one - or a point of origin - to the few… or a more targeted or localized audience such as a specific age group, or within a campus. So, where did the term broadcasting actually originate? It was an agricultural term meaning the sowing of seeds in a field by casting them broadly about. Then it was used to describe the widespread distribution of information via the printing press. This has been a World Radio Day minute from UNESCO.
