We are a University radio, and a youth, social, cultural and nonprofit one. A radio that’s interested in community issues in general, and in other community issues away from the media’s attention in particular. It works to enhance and strengthen the Palestinian national identity. Its scope of work is in West Bank and in the 1948 Palestinian territories. Moreover, it focuses on discussing and analyzing phenomena and socio-cultural issues in a free and responsible manner, rather than transferring political news. The radio has a unique professional youth staff where the youth are considered to be vital part of the Palestinian society.
The Palestinian society lives in a complex and rapidly changing reality in various aspects, especially in political, economic and social aspects. These changing aspects affect the essence of both individual and community lives. Where the Youth is considered to be the heart of these changing aspects either in social concepts or values, along with social and national identity.
Nevertheless, the political aspect seems to be the main issue controlling the local media, as it is also the Palestinians main topic news, at the expense of following, analyzing and monitoring the impact of other issues on the daily life of citizens and highlighting their humanitarian stories. Which comes from the focus of addressing cultural, literary and artistic questions that arise in the society.
From here, AAUP Radio is committed to engaging its professional and objective mission in presenting social phenomena issues and its impact on the lives of different segments of the society. As well as focusing on cultural, literary and artistic issues.
