Lonely blogger in the Caribbean

Blogging about public relations and communications in the Caribbean can sometimes be a lonely experience. That’s why when Paull Young invited me to participate in an interview, as a globally isolated communicator, I identified with the term.

I am globally isolated because I’m the only blogger in the Caribbean dedicated to blogging about public relations. When I started this blog my aim was to create a portal for information on the profession in the Caribbean since there is a HUGE lack of information. A glance at public relations magazines, journals and books shows this very clearly. Even the Global Public Relations Handbook lacks information on the Caribbean, and its authors lament this.

Back to my blog and I. Although I do get a kick out of the fact that a search for public relations in the Caribbean lands the blog on the first page of searches on Google, there’s also a sense of disappointment that this is the only place on the web that I can go to to find information. So won’t someone join me? Actually, I’d love to interview persons from various islands to find out more about public relations in their countries. My blog statistics show that I have a few readers from Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana, Trinidad, and Antigua and Barbuda.

I invite you to email me at caribbeanprblog@yahoo.com to share information about public relations in your country.

Karel,

This is a valuable activity that you’ve started. I’m sorry that more of our media colleagues aren’t embracing the opportunities provided by the Web to communicate and collaborate.

About five years back, a colleague in Trinidad and I - then living in Barbados - started Caribbean-reporter.com and most of our readers and correspondents were people outside the region but with an interest in Caribbean affairs.

Now that I’m more focused on public relations, hopefully I can contribute to your blog.

Mark.
