A Call for Online Media Awareness to improve the image of Haïti on the internet

A simple Google search for "Haïti" will leave you with a bitter taste, as you will mostly discover degrading images that fail to pay homage to Haïti’s natural beauty, rich history, and vibrant culture. This reality stems from a multitude of online media outlets that, in their relentless quest for visibility and profit, disseminate images that do not reflect the true essence of Haïti. It is time to challenge this trend and raise awareness among Haïtian online media of the profound impact of their editorial choices on the image of their own country. b~The Consequences of the Dissemination of Degrading Images:~b Sharing degrading images of Haïti contributes to perpetuating prejudices and reinforcing negative stereotypes associated with the country. This can have serious consequences for tourism, foreign investment, and even the national pride of Haïtians. Furthermore, it creates a distortion of reality, masking the many positive and inspiring aspects of Haïti. b~A Call for Editorial Responsibility:~b It is imperative that Haïtian online media take editorial responsibility in ensuring that the images and stories they broadcast reflect the diversity and richness of Haïti. Rather than focusing only on the negative aspects, they should highlight the successes, positive initiatives, and exceptional contributions of Haïtians to global society. b~Promote a Balanced Image:~b Haïti’s diversity, both culturally and socially, deserves to be celebrated. Haïtian online media have the opportunity to play a key role in promoting a more balanced image of the country by highlighting its successes, its innovations and its rich history.

Beven brings Haïti among the elite of world slam

This Thursday, November 14, 2024, the young slam artist Youven Beaubrun, Beven by his stage name, qualified Haiti, for the very first time in its history, for the final of the Slam World Cup. This competition, which brings together the best slam artists on the planet, took place on African soil, more precisely in Togo. In a country held by the throat, a country that is dying from start to finish, under the dangerous feat of a certain armed part of its youth, Beven’s extraordinary performance in this competition resonates with the echo of a whole piece of the country, in the thirst for beauty. Beven is the symbol of a youth that refuses to give in to the chaos that surrounds the face of its motherland. Art, slam being his field of specialization, is used in the best possible way to make hope resonate. And to continue to believe that a country that made 1804 cannot afford the luxury of sinking so hard in the face of human history. "It is with pride that I advanced in this competition. Especially with the crisis that is going through the country at the moment. My qualification for the final is an eternal sign of hope, which confirms the fact that not everything in this country will end in death," the young slammer told us before going to compete in the final. The final took place on Saturday, November 16, 2024, where Beven had his chance to represent his wounded land well on the doorstep of a world victory, a victory that if it had taken place, would have been initialed in the name of an entire people, in the absolute race against a great chaos that dreams only of suffocating it. Although he failed to win this cup (finishing in sixth place overall), the Haitian slam champion had time to inspire an entire country during his great journey in this competition. This is only a postponement, next time victory will be achieved for sure.
