Eye Radio[edit]
Eye Radio is an independent radio station located in Juba, South Sudan. It is operated in partnership with Eye Media and Internews Europe.[1] Initially, it was a project of the Education Development Center, an international NGO based in the United States, funded by the United States Agency for International Development.[2]
Programs[edit]
Eye Radio broadcasts include call-in discussion shows covering politics, health, education, and sports news in both English and Arabic.[3] The station features music programs promoting peace during the country's conflicts.[4] Its civic education programs aim to hold officials accountable.[5]
Censorship[edit]
On November 11, 2016, Eye Radio was shut down by the National Security, highlighting the broader media censorship issues in South Sudan.[6][7] Journalists face constant threats and intimidation, leading to self-censorship.[8][9] This lack of freedom of expression has resulted in journalists adopting self-censorship to stay safe.[10][11][12]
