The Media Association Jamaica Limited wishes to make clearly known its position on the country’s move to have broadcast media operating in a digital format as against the present analogue format.
More than six years ago several media and production facilities in Jamaica started to acquire and utilize components of digital media editing, production, transportation and processing. This was well in advance of any formal policy discourse on setting a timetable to arrive at decisions on Digital Switch Over (DSO). This underlines the fact that media in general have long embraced the need to develop digital capabilities. Media entities and the MAJ are clear supporters of the switch to the use of digital technologies in production and broadcast operations.

Mr. Chairman,
Members of the Parliamentary Committee
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I should commend the Committee for the work it has been doing in trying to keep the deliberations current – as current as addressing one of the most recent socio-cultural developments – the Gully/Gaza feud.
Mr. Chairman we note from the correspondence to us that at your meeting of November 11 the invitation to the MAJ was extended on the basis that “While the committee did not cast TOTAL blame on the media for the current situation, there was consensus that the media has a responsibility for monitoring what is aired.”

Dear Madam,
Re: Presentation to the Joint Select Committee to consider and report on the review of Jamaica’s defamation laws.
