Known to be a low-cost medium specifically suited to reaching remote communities and vulnerable people, radio has offered a platform to intervene in the public debate for over a century, regardless of the fact that the audience are educated or not.
Over the years, the medium has been used to play a crucial role in communication to inform, educate and entertain the masses in different regions and the world at large.
Going memory lane of the history of radio, it is generally believed that the first radio transmission was made by Guglielmo Marconi in 1895 and radio broadcasting of music and talk that was aimed towards a wider audience came into existence, albeit experimentally, sometimes around 1905-1906.
According to the UN the radio has the ability to “shape a society’s experience of diversity, stand as an arena for all voices to speak out, be represented and heard.”
