Register now for this year’s virtual Radiodays Asia conference and join us for our session “Talking COVID”
Radiodays Asia is a dynamic, professional and international meeting point for the Asian radio and audio industry with the purpose of sharing and learning about international media trends, new technology, content development and journalism. It brings together radio professionals, organisations and commentators from around the world to discuss both the challenges facing radio and the innovations taking it forward.
The Public Media Alliance will host the Talking COVID session on the 25 March, where we will hear from radio managers and producers from Indonesia, Nepal and Sri Lanka about the experiences they’ve faced and adaptations made during the pandemic. We will also hear about what innovations made during the past year are likely to stay in the years ahead.
