Media Pluralism
Media pluralism provides choice to the public. It is made possible by a mix of public, private, and community media, as well as a variety of platforms (print, radio, TV, and online) to avoid media concentration, which could limit the diversity of opinions and viewpoints in circulation. In this framework, UNESCO assists Member States in ensuring a diverse media landscape supporting, in particular, community media.
World Radio Day
Through World Radio Day (13 February), an international UN Day proclaimed by UNESCO in 2011 and endorsed by the UN General Assembly in 2012, UNESCO celebrates radio as the medium that still reaches in real time, the widest audience worldwide, in real time.
