New Year's message from the President of teh Media Association of Saint Lucia, Clinton Reynolds

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

The need for continuous self-monitoring and adherence to journalistic standards was emphasised this past Saturday October 25, 2014 as media workers in Saint Lucia met to discuss self-regulation. The consultation was organised by the Association of Caribbean Media Workers as part of a United Nations Education, Social, and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) programme and hosted by the Media Workers Association of Saint Lucia.

As part of the Media Association of Saint Lucia’s (MASL) efforts to enable a more professional media environment on Saint Lucia, the organisation will this weekend host a one-day consultation on Media Self-Regulation. The UNESCO funded programme is scheduled for Saturday, October 25, 2014 at Monroe College at Barnard Hill.

A closed workshop for media professionals, it will be facilitated by Executive Director of the International Press Institute (IPI), Mrs. Alison Bethel-McKenzie and the General Secretary of the Association of Caribbean Media Workers (ACM) Wesley Gibbins.

The Media Association of Saint Lucia meets with media owners and managers for the second time since its establishment. The meeting today, Thursday, September 18, 2014, is occasioned by the election of a new MASL executive. 

Media owners and managers have a unique viewpoint on the great challenges facing the local media as it relates to revenues, programming, best practice standards and overall viability. For this reason, the MASL wishes to engage in discussion on areas of mutual developmental interest to all media organizations on the island.
