Hello All,
We have been discussing the topic of media oligarchy versus media monopoly.
It was established that Belize being a very young country has a lot yet to accomplish in the media world. That includes more mobile phone services, more Internet suppliers, more cable companies, more media house that can produce BELIZEAN movies, cooking programs, music channels, more news houses and evening newscast, more radio stations etc. We also talked about media funding in Belize and how the government play its role in funding. Which isn't really much except for propaganda.With all that said and acknowledging the need for growth below is a link with information regarding freedom of press in Belize. The information contained in the link is ironic considering our need to grow.

Belize drops in press freedom
This is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information Ms. Marilin. I guess us students can usually be ignorant of what happens in out country because we don't usually see the news or get involved in media. We really need an initiative to make things much better in our country!
ReplyDeleteWell it seems that we do have lots in media in Belize. But I believe that this does not sound so good. Although I will agree that it is very interesting to know. Since this is not something I new about.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for posting. It is nice to see that the information is welcomed and that you are moved to take action or even in the least way make valid recommendations. I suggest you go out there and find out more about what is going on in our country. Stay informed and stay positive!
