| To mark World Radio Day 2016 the Ethical Journalism Network has partnered with UNESCO to create a podcast to discuss the ethical issues that radio journalists face when covering conflicts, natural disasters and humanitarian crises.
Listen to podcast here.
In this podcast, our director, Aidan White, speaks to international correspondents and local radio journalists about their experiences covering earthquakes, typhoons, civil wars, genocide, elections and independence movements with a special focus on female journalists and the importance of women getting access to accurate information in these circumstances.
The podcast also discusses the Ethical Journalism Network’s five point test for hate-speech, which was launched as part of our campaign “Turning the page of hate” in Kigali in 2014 to mark two decades since the Rwandan genocide.
As part of World Radio Day UNESCO has translated the five point test into Arabic, Spanish and French and is encouraging radio stations round the world to download and print it as a poster to put the wall of their newsrooms.
Radio stations are also being encouraged to download and broadcast the Ethical Journalism Network podcast on and before World Radio Day on 13 February 2016.
