Radio is still important today?

[JEMC]

Indeed, radio is still a viable and important mass media.

And, as you say, it's with power shortages/natural disasters that it shows its value as it's one of the very few mass media devices that can work with regular batteries.

Also, given that they are relatively cheap to maintain, mean that almost every city can have their own radio station, which provide the kind of info that the citizens of that city/area need, both when bad but also good things happen.
