Radio Haiti

View full context
More than 50 percent of Haitians are illiterate, and only 25 percent have regular access to electricity, which means that battery-operated radios are the country’s main medium.

Radio Haiti

15 August 2011

Schwester Melianise Gabreus präsentiert ihr beliebtes Alltagsberatungsprogramm für Radio Men Kontre in Haiti. Über 50 Prozent der Haitianer sind Analphabeten, und nur 25 Prozent haben regulär Strom. Deshalb sind batteriebetrebene Radios vielmehr als Zeitungen, Fernsehen oder Internet das Hauptmedium des Landes. In einem Land, in dem 97 Prozent der Bevölkerung ein Radio besitzen, werden Moderatoren zu Stars.

Les Cayes, Haiti

Sister Melianise Gabreus presents her popular, daily life-advice program on Radio Men Kontre, in Haiti. More than 50 percent of Haitians are illiterate, and only 25 percent have regular access to electricity, which means that battery-operated radios, rather than newspapers, television, or the internet, are the country’s main medium. In a country where 97 percent of the population owns a radio, presenters can become stars.

La hermana Melianise Gabreus presenta su popular programa de radio sobre asuntos cotidianos en Radio Men Kontre, en Haití. Más del 50 % de los haitianos es analfabeto, y solamente un 25 % tiene un acceso habitual al suministro eléctrico, lo que significa que las radios que funcionan mediante pilas, más que los diarios, la televisión o Internet, son el medio de comunicación principal del país. En una nación en la que el 97 % de los habitantes posee una radio, los presentadores se convierten en estrellas.

Sœur Melianise Gabreus présente son programme populaire de conseils sur la vie quotidienne à la Radio Men Kontre, en Haïti. Plus de 50 % des Haïtiens sont analphabètes et seulement 25 % ont un approvisionnement régulier en électricité ; les radios à piles, plus que les journaux, la télévision ou Internet, constituent donc le principal moyen d’information du pays. Dans ce pays où 97 % de la population possède une radio, les présentateurs deviennent des vedettes.

Ad Haiti, suor Melianise Gabreus conduce su Radio Men Kontre un programma di successo in cui offre consigli di vita quotidiana. Oltre il 50% degli haitiani è analfabeta e solo il 25% ha normalmente accesso all’elettricità; il principale mezzo di comunicazione, quindi, sono le radio a pile, e non i giornali, la televisione o internet. In un paese in cui il 97% della popolazione possiede una radio, i presentatori possono diventare vere e proprie star.

Zuster Melianise Gabreus presenteert haar populaire programma met adviezen over alledaagse zaken op Radio Men Kontre in Haïti. Ruim 50 procent van de Haïtianen is analfabeet, en slechts 25 procent heeft een vaste elektriciteitsaansluiting, wat betekent dat radio’s op batterijen het belangrijkste communicatiemiddel zijn in plaats van kranten, televisie of het internet. In een land waar 97 procent van de bevolking een radio bezit, kunnen presentatoren sterren worden.

Сестра Мелианиз Габреус в своей популярной ежедневной программе житейских советов на радио Men Kontre в Гаити. Более 50% гаитян неграмотны, и только 25% живут в электрифицированных домах. Поэтому основным источником массовой информации являются работающие на батарейках радиоприемники, а не газеты, телевидение или Интернет. Поскольку в стране 97% населения имеют радиоприемники, радиоведущие становятся звездами.
