This article illustrates why I just want Jamaica to put the election behind it and move forward. As long as the effect of the election lingers on this type of unflattering story will be in the mainstream media. The Miami Herald is quite a large newspaper with a wide reach so this story will be read by a large readership. With the island still dependent on tourism, we need to turn around this type of media coverage to more positive ones.
In an earlier post I mentioned that a country’s Diaspora may view the problems of the home country differently than the country’s residents do. The media reports in the adopted country are partly responsible for this especially if a particular individual only has a passing interest in the affairs of the home country. In my case I have more than a passing interest in the affairs of my homeland Jamaica so I try to stay on top of things using various online media available to me. But these articles such as the one I referenced above still carry some weight.
So now, congratulations to Prime Minister Golding but no time to waste. Time to get to work.
