Radio retains its power to entertain, educate, inform and inspire – UN chief
UN Secretary-General António Guterres issued a message on World Radio Day being observed on Tuesday (February 13) under the theme of “Radio and Sports”.
The message runs as follows:
“Radio reaches the widest audience in the world.
In an era of dramatic advances in communications, radio retains its power to entertain, educate, inform and inspire.
It can unite and empower communities, and give voice to the marginalized.
This year, with the Winter Olympics now under way, we also recognize the many ways in which sports broadcasting brings people together around excitement and achievement.
On World Radio Day, let us celebrate both radio and sports as ways of helping people achieve their full potential.”
