Rti joins with the 21st annual AIBs to demonstrate its commitment to global journalism and media freedom
The Association for International Broadcasting (AIB) is pleased to announce that Radio Taiwan International (Rti) has joined the AIBs 2025 as the official Broadcast Partner. As part of the partnership, Rti will have exclusive rights to distribute the 21st annual AIBs gala awards event, which will take place in London on 14 November 2025, across its platforms.
In addition to its broadcast partnership, Rti is also confirmed as the sponsor of the News Coverage – Audio category, one of the most competitive awards recognising outstanding journalism in radio and podcasting from around the world.
This collaboration underscores Rti’s long-standing commitment to media freedom, impartial journalism, and international collaboration. At a time when press freedom is under threat in many regions, Rti continues to provide trusted, independent news and programming in multiple languages, serving audiences across Asia and globally.
Cheryl Lai, Chairperson of Radio Taiwan International (pictured), said: “The AIBs are a vital platform to honour and amplify the work of journalists and storytellers who bring truth to light in an increasingly complex world. At Rti, we believe in the power of journalism to hold power to account, to inform the public, and to build mutual understanding across cultures. Supporting the AIBs reflects our dedication to these values and our desire to stand with fellow broadcasters and content creators who share our commitment to editorial integrity and public service.”
Simon Spanswick, Chief Executive of the Association for International Broadcasting, commented: “We are delighted to continue our close collaboration with Rti in 2025. Rti has generously supported the AIBs for a number of years, and this continuing relationship demonstrates the importance that Rti and the nation of Taiwan attaches to media freedom and impartial journalism. Through Rti’s support, we are able to celebrate the work of journalists and their colleagues in bringing the stories that matter to audiences globally.”
Established in 2005, the AIBs are the international competition that celebrates the best journalism and factual productions across video, audio, and digital platforms. With entries from broadcasters, media companies and production houses in more than 40 countries, the AIBs represent a global benchmark of excellence in factual media.
The AIBs 2025 gala on 14 November will bring together leading figures from across the international media industry, recognising work that informs, educates and inspires audiences worldwide. This year, the gala dinner will take place at the Park Hyatt London River Thames, moments from Westminster and the Houses of Parliament.
