 Radio
For Peace International's programs champion human rights and social
justice issues, increase global awareness of under-reported events,
promote tolerance, expose prejudice, injustice and corruption and
advocate environmental awareness.
A global media model, RFPI broadcasts globally via shortwave and the
internet. It seeks to transform the landscape of independent media,
providing a forum for democratic communications and a critical focus on
trans-national politics.
Short wave radio is as crucial a medium as it has ever been in this
Information Age where information output, control and access are key to
contemporary political struggles and where radio continues to be the
prime source of information for the majority of the world’s
inhabitants. Short wave signals override political and geographical
boundaries and can be heard world-wide.
All RFPI’s programs are sourced from independent producers and media
activists from around the world. We are committed to continue our work
in broadening the spectrum of voices available to the global community
of listeners, to expanding content, input, exchange of ideas and
perspectives, and to facilitating dialogue on more equal terms.
RFPI produces in-house programs and special series and reports, many of
which relate to our various campaigns. We are currently re-establishing
our Spanish language programming as well as
working towards regular
programming in other languages.

RFPI
has established itself as a center of excellence in specialist
independent journalism and has trained over 300 peace journalists
who
now work all over the world. RFPI’s Institute for Progressive
Communications runs courses in Peace Journalism and Progressive Media
Through Radio in Costa Rica several times a year.
RFPI specializes in the monitoring and documenting of hate radio and the
use of media by extremist groups. We are committed to exposing the
inflammatory nature of ‘hate-casting’ through RFPI’s Far Right
Radio Review (produced and hosted by James Latham) and our Stop Hate on
Radio campaign, as well as by archiving reports and hate material.
Volunteers are the
life-blood of the organization and they work with us through hands-on
experience and participating in the daily activities of a center of
media activism.
