World Television Day 2025 proclaimed 21 November as World Television Day, commemorating the date on which the first World Television Forum was held in 1996. This day was observed annually to recognise the increasing impact of television on decision-making by bringing global attention to conflicts, threats to peace and security, and its potential role in focusing on other major issues, including economic and social matters.
The day is observed annually to acknowledge television’s growing influence, and its ability to shape public opinion, highlight global conflicts, draw attention to threats to peace and security, and spotlight important economic and social issues.
