À l'occasion de la Journée mondiale de la radio 2023, l'UNESCO, l'agence des Nations Unies pour la Culture et l'Education, souligne que « la radio indépendante est un pilier de la prévention des conflits et de la consolidation de la paix dans le monde. C'est la raison pour laquelle le soutien à la radio indépendante doit être considéré comme un outil du maintient de la paix et de la stabilité. Cette capacité à toucher un large public signifie que la radio contribuer à la diversité, être l’arène où toutes les voix peuvent s'exprimer, être représentées et entendues ». L'Unesco souligne enfin que les stations de radio doivent « desservir des communautés diverses, leur offrir une grande variété de programmes, de points de vue et de contenu. Les radios doivent être capable, dans leurs organisations et leurs opérations, de refléter la diversité de leurs publics »
Favoriser la paix et la sécurité
Le récit radiophonique peut accroître les tensions ou favoriser les conditions de la paix. Par exemple, il pèse sur le rejet ou l'intégration des réfugiés, la montée ou la modération de la ferveur. En informant le grand public, les stations de radio contribuent lutter contre les fausses informations et la haine présentes sur les réseaux sociaux, à expliquer au public les enjeux et en favoriser le dialogue. Interrogé par Radio Orient à l'occasion du World Radio Day 2023, le président de l'AMARC, Emmanuel Boutterin, nous parle du récit radiophonique qui influe sur les situations et les processus décisionnels nationaux et internationaux.
Séisme : hommage aux radios « sur zone »
On relève trois points forts de l'intervention de l'AMARC à l'occasion de cette journée : l'hommage aux victimes turques, syriennes et kurdes du séisme et aux équipes des radios locales sur zone, qui orientent les survivants, la radio vectrice de sécurité et de paix dans les zones sinistrées et dans les zones de guerre pour les populations civiles, et la révolution de la radio digitale hertzienne qui doit favoriser le pluralisme des radios locales, dans leur mission de paix et de sécurité.

Retour sur le 13 février Journée Mondiale de la Radio célébrée en France : instrument de la paix et de la sécurité pour les populations civiles. Un outil d'urgence pour les populations turques, syriennes et kurdes victimes du séisme. Entretien avec Emmanuel Boutterin sur Radio Orient.
Throwback to World Radio Day 2023
Adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012 as an International Day, February 13 has become World Radio Day (WRD). Each year, AMARC (1) participates in the choice of a theme. This year it was "Radio and Peace". The Syndicat National des Radios Libres hopes, on the occasion of the 2024 Olympic Games, that France will resolutely commit to promoting this day.
On the occasion of World Radio Day 2023, UNESCO, the United Nations agency for Culture and Education, stresses that "independent radio is a pillar of conflict prevention and the consolidation of peace in the world. This is why support for independent radio must be considered as a tool for maintaining peace and stability. This ability to reach large audiences means that radio contributes to diversity, being the arena where all voices can be expressed, represented and heard." Finally, Unesco stresses that radio stations must "serve diverse communities, offering them a wide variety of programs, points of view and content. Radios must be able, in their organizations and operations, to reflect the diversity of their audiences."
Radio storytelling can heighten tensions or foster conditions for peace. For example, it weighs on the rejection or integration of refugees, the rise or moderation of fervor. By informing the general public, radio stations help to fight against false information and hatred present on social networks, to explain the issues to the public and to promote dialogue. Interviewed by Radio Orient on the occasion of World Radio Day 2023, the president of AMARC, Emmanuel Boutterin, talks to us about the radio narrative that influences national and international situations and decision-making processes.
Three strong points of AMARC's intervention on the occasion of this day: the tribute to the Turkish, Syrian and Kurdish victims of the earthquake and to the local radio teams in the area, the radio vector of security and peace in the disaster areas and in war zones for civilian populations, and the digital hertzian radio revolution which should promote the pluralism of local radio stations, in their mission of peace and security.
