(Freetown: 13 February 2026). The Media Reform Coordinating Group (MRCG) joins the Independent Radio Network (IRN), the Sierra Leone Broadcasters Association (SiLBA), and other media organisations worldwide to commemorate World Radio Day 2026 under the global theme “Radio and Artificial Intelligence.”
World Radio Day, proclaimed by UNESCO and observed annually on 13 February, recognises radio as a powerful medium for information, education, cultural expression, and democratic participation. Radio remains the most accessible and trusted medium in Sierra Leone, especially for rural and marginalised communities. As artificial intelligence increasingly shapes how information is produced, distributed, and consumed, radio must adapt responsibly to harness these technologies while safeguarding ethical journalism, pluralism, and human rights.
