Media’s reach in the Nepali hinterland has become evident in the aftermath of the devastating earthquakes of last month and a half. For disaster survivors, the need for information and communication is critical.

This article in Nepali Times highlights how local radio stations in earthquake-affected districts can be supported by humanitarian organisations so that they are able to keep up the work and continue to be an outreach tool that successfully overcomes the challenges of terrain, linguistic and ethnic diversity and low literacy. In the aftermath of the earthquake, radio can play an even more important role in rebuilding.
