CHIANG MAI - Community radio’s growth over the years in many Asian countries has had a profound impact on the lives of many communities - and that includes Lao PDR. For many, the medium is a platform for people to voice out their views about issues that affect them. After all, people living in isolated communities in countries in the Mekong Region lack readily available and informative materials, a situation made more challenging by low literacy rates and the variety of different languages within nation-states.
The current situation of community radio and its potential for being ‘radio for the people, by the people’ in Lao PDR will be the highlight of a satellite session to be held Dec. 10, 2009 at the Mekong Media Forum, Chiang Mai, Thailand.
