WASHINGTON, D.C., April 27, 2023 — Media professionals from major Networks in Washington D.C. were told by His Excellency Wendall Jones, Bahamas Ambassador to the United States, to work even harder in an era of post-truth for democracy .
Speaking at a Reception and Salon Dinner at the Embassy of Trinidad and Tobago Wednesday night, April 26, Ambassador Jones said, “When professionals in Media in the United States are functioning at their best, they are assisting in leading millions of people not only in their country, but throughout the Caribbean and the Americas.”
“Democracy thrives when people are well educated and the role of media is critical to the proper functioning of democracy,” Ambassador Jones added.
He called on Journalists to adhere to the tenets of ethical journalism, as the problem of a lack of credibility in media does not augur well for democracy.
The large group of Media professionals met at the invitation of CariBeat, a group of Journalists with Caribbean roots, just before this weekend’s annual White House correspondents dinner.
The evet was hosted by Richard A. Fowler, who currently serves as a progressive contributor to FOX News, and the Ambassador of Trinidad and Tobago H.E. Anthony Phillips-Spencer.
