few hours after the earthquake that destroyed part of Port-au-Prince January 12 last, the radio host Carel Pedre was behind his microphone on Radio One. Host of the morning show and station manager, Pedro is a local star who has gained international fame when CNN aired the photos he had taken and posted on Twitter a few moments just after the tremor.
Just days after the earthquake, other radios such as Radio Tropic FM and Ginen (there are a total of ten established in Port-au-Prince) had resumed their diffusion.
"Radio stations have operated for weeks with material recovered in the rubble from a marquee in the neighborhood or the Court of St. Louis, one of the largest refugee camps Capital, "said Claude Gilles, Director of Media Operations Centre set up by Reporters Without Borders in the aftermath of the earthquake.
Caribbean Radio, a radio station's most popular country for its broadcast in a tent in front of his former studio, as already told our colleague Agnes Gruda in late January.
Two months later, it still is. "Radio broadcasts Caribbean always outside in the street, and live broadcasts have become real happening at night in Port-au-Prince," says Jean-Hugues Roy, Special Envoy to Haiti for the CBC.
TV and newspapers
the side of television, for obvious technical reasons, the return to normalcy is longer. "Most TV stations broadcasting music videos and movies, says Carel Pedre, reached by telephone. But the TV national of Haiti, located in the courtyard of his old building, has resumed its regular programming. "
The two Haitian newspapers, Le Matin and The Nouvelliste , their presses were heavily damaged in the quake. The paper version of Morning, published once a week for now, is printed in the Dominican Republic. As for Nouvelliste , the oldest national newspaper, he published two issues per week but will resume its daily rhythm today.
"The newspaper is still in its temporary headquarters, Petionville, and the newspaper will be printed in its premises located downtown in ruins, "says Claude Gilles by email. "The newspaper is also rebuilding its list of subscribers, many of whom had moved or left the country."
Two days after the quake, representatives of the organization Reporters Without Borders, with financial assistance Quebecor, put up an operational center of the media. Also located in Petionville, offers materials, professional resources and psychological well as workspaces for Haitian journalists and media outlets in foreign reporting in Haiti.
Francois Bugingo, spokesman for RSF Canada, participated in its creation. "The center is coordinated with the Haitian Ministry of Communications and eventually we'll sell our place in local associations for them to assume coordination." Reporters Without Borders estimated that about thirty workers of the world media are dead in the earthquake.
