SOCIAL COMMUNICATION AND JOURNALISM IN HAITI


In the past and present work of social communicator and journalist has been very difficult to develop in Haiti.

First, the current literacy rate, which does not differ much from the old one, is %20, which means that there are very few recipients of information.
Furthermore, freedom of the press always has been scarce. The Governors don’t allow to be published or say anything against them or their government.

There is common for journalists to be threatened or killed for their articles. Like the popular radio journalist, Jean Dominique, how was murdered just over a year, by divulge irregularities in government.

For this reason, I think although there are several newspapers, I seek another place where I could practice my profession, like in Europe where the europeans receive very well to young people.
While it would be good to work in Haiti with poor people and “be the voice of how haven´t voice”.
