Haiti - Social : The RIJC of Jacmel Jacmel honors Similien Yves Gérard Emmanuel
Thursday, June 7, 2012, as part of the celebration of the Latin American Day of Press, the Reference Institute of Journalism and Communication (RIJC) of Jacmel presented at a ceremony, a plaque of honor to Similien Yves Gérard Emmanuel, technician and 'metteur en onde' of the Radio Télé Express Continentale 88.9 FM of Jacmel.

Similien Yves Gérard Emmanuel, has integrated to the press 21 years ago [1991-2012] since he continues to serve the community in the field of radio broadcasting in Jacmel. In his speech, Mr. Similien declared "Today I feel proud to see an institution thinking to honor me, despite my task that is often overlooked in the media in Haiti, while it has an important place enabling the radio to stay alive."

For his part, the journalist Claudy Belizaire, Executive Director of RIJC, said to the attention of the audience that the choice of Similien Yves Gérard Emmanuel took into account his age, his love of the profession and his exemplary behavior in media for 21 years. "Today, it is time to stop honoring people in Haiti after their death. You do not hear the voice on the radio technicians and 'metteurs en onde', yet they do a tremendous job in a radio station," advocating for better supervision vis-à-vis technicians / 'metteur en onde' in radio stations in the country, particularly in terms of training.

The Engineer Jean Jacques Pierre, Director General of Radio Télé Express, he keynote speaker of the conference debate held under the theme: "The importance of the press in a democratic society, journalists face their responsibilities," said that the media played a major role in any society, whether democratic or not "The role of the press is to provide information to the public by promoting progress. The existence of the media in a democratic society must have a positive impact, both economically, politically and socially. [...] Given that the press plays a key role in the dissemination of information, it tends to protect and develop democratic societies, which promote research and disseminate information freely. The press can gradually strengthen the application of the democratic system, which is the respect and law enforcement. Given that Haitian democracy is very young [...] Haitian journalists must have a lot of attention and the local press, should carefully consider the communication protocols with the population, mostly illiterate."

For his part, the journalist Elie Lorvéus, departmental delegate of the Association of Haitian Journalists (AJH) in the Southeast declared that June 7, should be a day of reflections in relation to the heavy responsibilities of journalists vis-à-vis the population, especially in Haiti where the learning of a democracy is being built. e launched a warning to aspiring journalists of the RIJC, so they work in the interest of the population while prioritizing social facts. "At present, the Government Martelly-Lamothe, continues to advocate a wind of change on the country, this could be a reality only with the participation of the Pressthat holds a candle to this change in his hands [...]," Congratulating the RIJC for this kind of initiative, which aims to give a boost to the Haitian press, particularly in the South East, Elie Lorvéus, reiterated the willingness of the AJH to collaborate with the team of RIJC.
