Radio Panik is a free radio that defines itself as associative radio of expression and creation and as multi- and intercultural radio. It was created in 1983 on the initiative of a group of activists against racism and for human rights. Radio Panik was thus part of this first generation of free radio stations considered as "committed" for their militant action in favor of a critical approach to information. Although its investment at the local level, both socially and culturally, has gradually become one of its priority objectives, it has never lost sight of this "generalist" mission and remains, within a more and more uniform media landscape, a communication tool whose marginal position favors freedom, independence and diversity.
