|
|
mariajacksonent.blogspot...
- For the past few years the dancehall scene has been completely dominated by the likes of Vybz Kartel and Mavado. Almost all the rhythms going out had either one, or in some cases, both of the entertainers featured on it. It is clear that the thinking amongst the producers was that these men were needed to guarantee the success of the project.

| Haiti three weeks later |
|
|
www.boston.com/bigpictur...
- Tomorrow will mark three weeks since the massive January 12th earthquake in Haiti, and tent cities remain full, even as some businesses and factories are beginning to reopen in Port-au-Prince. Now that massive amounts of aid have arrived, distribution problems have cropped up and are being addressed. The World Food Program has begun a new system of delivering rice to 10,000 Haitians per day at each of 16 women-only distribution points around the city - restricted to women, since young men often muscle their way to the front of distribution lines, and the women are viewed as more likely to fairly divide up the food. Aid chiefs and donor nations are warning that Haiti will need at least a decade of painstaking reconstruction. more... () |

- "There were weaknesses in management controls over output, and some on-air persons lack a basic understanding of the critical role that media plays in development. In light of extensive research which reveals that songs with violent lyrics increase aggression, related thoughts and emotions, and feelings of hostility without provocation, regulatory intervention is necessary and since then, great strides have been made in building consensus around Content Standards", the Minister said. more...
