Dear Editor,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am writing to highlight a growing concern in Antigua and Barbuda: the outdated and declining standards of ABS TV\/Radio Antigua, the lack of opportunities for film creatives and filmmakers, and the failure of journalism to remain impartial, especially in political reporting.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

ABS, as the national broadcaster, continues to produce subpar content, both in technical quality and substance.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Poor production, outdated programming, and an overall lack of innovation have made it clear that ABS is not keeping pace with modern broadcasting standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an era where digital media is thriving, it is unacceptable for the national station to remain stagnant.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Another major issue is the absence of a thriving film industry. Antigua is filled with young, creative minds who could contribute to filmmaking, storytelling, and media production, yet there are no proper avenues for them to develop their skills or showcase their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Film is not just entertainment\u2014it is a cultural and economic driver. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

However, without investment and structural support, young Antiguans are left with little choice but to leave or abandon their creative ambitions altogether.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The state of journalism is just as troubling. ABS continues to serve as a mouthpiece for the government instead of delivering fair, unbiased news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public deserves investigative, fact-driven journalism, not political favoritism disguised as reporting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is embarrassing that in 2024, our national broadcaster cannot be trusted to present the news without political interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A significant factor contributing to these problems is the unwillingness of the older generation to make room for young professionals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across media, government, and other industries, many older individuals hold onto positions for decades, blocking opportunities for younger, more innovative minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of mentoring and uplifting the next generation, they refuse to step aside, preventing real progress. How can the country move forward when fresh ideas and talent are constantly pushed aside?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At what point will young journalists, filmmakers, and media professionals take the initiative to create something better? Antigua needs an independent, modern media platform\u2014one that values quality journalism, creativity, and fair reporting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The younger generation must push back against stagnation and demand change. If those in power refuse to make space, then it\u2019s time to build something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future of Antigua\u2019s media is in the hands of those bold enough to challenge the status quo. The question is: who will step up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
