Trouble in paradise: Hard times for journalists

Article Abstract:

Wesley Gibbings, president of the Association of Caribbean Media Workers (ACM), stated in December 2003 that there exists a basis for anxiety in some territories where official policy tended to offer prescriptions that have potential to undermine the right to publish opinions and information not always in conformity with official or popular views. The ACM statement referred to the government of Jamaica and is considered new anti-terrorism laws that would block the publication of official documents.
