In many countries ravaged by war and violent conflict, radio is sometimes the only way of getting information. In most of these regions, there is little or no infra- structure and when people are on the run, it is sometimes the only link to the world they have left behind.
This inspiring article written by journalist, Jocelyne Sambira for we_magazine shows how radio broadcasts and journalism, in general, bring listeners clarity in the midst of chaos.
Ears To Our World, a non-profit organization that distributes self-powered shortwave radios to classrooms in the 3rd world, is soon to be featured in a special dedicated radio show. The one-hour program will focus on ETOW and the importance of radio in Africa, in particular. The show was produced by Keith Perron of PCJ Media and The New Happy Station Show.
