World Television Day is celebrated every year on November 21. It was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1996 to recognize the profound impact television has on shaping public opinion, promoting communication, and influencing global issues.
The day commemorates the First World Television Forum, held on November 21-22, 1996, where media leaders gathered to discuss the growing significance of television in our world.
While the celebration doesn’t focus on the device itself, it emphasizes television as a medium for education, information, and entertainment, and as a tool for fostering democracy and cultural exchange.
On this day, broadcasters and organizations often hold events, produce special programs, and highlight the role of television in connecting communities and addressing global challenges.
