Challenges Facing the Broadcasting Sector as a Result of Covid-19: Discussion

Ms Mary Lennon:

Community radio stations were thrown into a new way of working because of Covid. Part of that was embracing technology. One of the things that community stations do really well is deliver training to and upskilling members of the community, and especially those hard to reach communities. That was one of the things that the stations excelled at. They were able to adapt and change and keep their stations on air, but also keep their volunteers and communities engaged and informed of what was happening.
