Radio Romania International celebrates World Radio Day 2013

On February 13th, 2013 RRI will celebrate World Radio Day for the first time. RRI would like you to join for this celebration and tell in less than 60 seconds, what radio means to you. You can send your messages as e-mail audio attachments, at regular addresses, or you can just upload your messages on the website created specially for this event  :   www.wrd13.com

Obviously, we could talk about radio for hours, but now we would just like you to send a short and creative message, just like radio messages should be, in which you can tell us why radio is such an important means of information to you.

On February 13th you will hear some of the messages sent by our listeners, in RRI's programs, and why not, in programs broadcast by other radio stations, which will use your messages in their own shows.

Just months ahead of the celebration of its 85th anniversary, Radio Romania is actively involved in the events celebrating World Radio Day through all its stations, including RRI. February 13 is the day proclaimed by UNESCO and endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly to celebrate Radio as a medium; to improve international cooperation between broadcasters; and to encourage major networks and community radio alike to promote access to information and freedom of

expression over the airwaves.

UNESCO encourages all countries to celebrate World Radio Day by planning activities in partnership with regional, national and international broadcasters, non-governmental organizations, the media and the public. The World Radio Day International Committee is constituted by agreement among the most representative broadcasting organizations. Its purpose is to internationally promote the celebration of World Radio Day. The first edition will be held February the 13th 2013.

This Committee invites all public, private, online and community Radio organizations as well as Radio professionals and listeners worldwide to participate in a global campaign and join voices to tell the world why Radio continues to be the greatest media!

The World Radio Day International Committee web platform organizes sound item exchanges in order to promote this medium (1 minute maximum). You are invited to produce and send your posts, whatever your link may be with the Radio world (public Radio, private Radio, community Radio, independent producer, listener etc).
