About Haiti
Haiti, the Caribbean's first independent nation and the only country born from a successful slave revolt, boasts a rich history and vibrant Creole culture. However, persistent political instability, gang violence, and fragile infrastructure significantly challenge daily life and shape news coverage, making the media landscape particularly precarious for journalists.
