NWICO

The New World Information and Communication Order (NWICO) debate emerged in the 1970s, led by the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and UNESCO, aiming to address the imbalanced flow of global media and information. Spearheaded by the MacBride Commission, it highlighted the need for a fairer, more inclusive communication system that gives equal voice to developing nations. NWICO emphasized media justice, cultural diversity, and democratization of communication—an idea that still resonates in today’s digital age
