Bahamas PM opens Caribbean Broadcasters Union meetings
“I am very happy to see that you will be addressing the most important social media guidelines and cyber security for journalists, helping its members to understand the new and emerging protocols and dangers of the world of the internet, is one of the most major tasks of the #CBU.”
A main focus of the three day, annually held sessions will be digital developments in broadcasting.
“We live in a period, where career broadcasters are subject to much scrutiny, and also, a lot of amateur competition from everyone who has a phone. It is of paramount importance to ensure that the broadcasting industry is not undermined by those who call themselves journalists, but who produce fiction and call it news. The CBU has the responsibility to ensure that the highest standards of ethics and security are maintained in the Caribbean Broadcast Industry, as it expands beyond the 4.8 million people it reaches in the region and throughout the world via the internet.”
The CBU meetings and exhibitions are set at the British Colonial Hilton and an awards gala will happen at the Atlantis Resort.
