The power of Radio in the Haitian Society

Radio is vital for election coverage. Talk-radio's discussion formats are invaluable sources of information. They help keep citizens informed, and competition for air time is fierce among electoral candidates. In desperation, they carry out attacks of violence against stations and their hosts to stop negative coverage. Between 2000 and 2011, five violent acts occurred, in which radio facilities were disabled or destroyed, and radio commentators injured or killed.

In 2000, broadcast journalist Jean Dominique, well-liked and respected, was gunned down outside Haiti-Inter. Other violent incidents include an antenna tower that was destroyed, cutting off broadcasting service. And Radio Hispaniola was torched, its owner, Pierre Elisem, made a paralytic as a result of being shot during the arson fire.

Embedded in Haiti political culture, these and other similar incidents are a part of government's efforts to control the content of radio commentary.
