I remember that in my childhood radio soap operas were listened to in small radios that worked with batteries (9 volt batteries) and some educational programs were present in the programming of some stations.
A key characteristic of the media is the ease of immediate access to remote areas with a wide information content of all the events that take place around us. Its importance and influence as a means of education and training is what makes this training process a potential means of addressing environmental, cultural, family and social influences. If this broad-spectrum and focused tool is used to educate the youth population, for example in mathematics, physics or the environment, the cognitive process can be shaped through the use of radio or television.
My field of work continues to be mining engineering and in this context, I think that large-scale mining activities can have psychosocial effects in areas with high mining activity, which is why a broad educational and participatory communication is proposed through radio programs to provide information on the importance of mining and all its associated processes: exploration, exploitation, transportation and marketing of raw materials and processed products, in addition to analyzing the possibilities of sustainable mining that provides well-being to the inhabitants of the surroundings of the exploitation area, based on the generation of employment and possible works of social interest that can be implemented.
In short, what I can highlight is that radio and television continue to be the most popular media with the greatest reach in the areas that are affected by mining activity, whether due to environmental impact or visual pollution. It is logical to think about the implementation of radio programs where the benefits and adverse impacts related to this form of mineral extraction from the earth's surface are disclosed.
