It is no surprise as The Kingston Chronicle Jamaica's #1 alternative online newspaper and blog is the brains behind a project that will see the remaining 13 Jamaican parishes obtain citizen journalism online newspapers and blogs.
Each blog will be managed by a team of high school students and promote reading of news, current events, and special reports via a blog format. The Kingston Chronicle is already partnering with Jamaica Wireless and the Jamaica Youth Corps (JYC) in the training of over 1,000 young students in Content Management, Website Construction, and Internet TV Developer and Administrator all without the need to know any programming language.
Studies show print newspaper profitability is in severe decline and will soon only serve a niche market unless it enjoys a healthy monopoly or duopoly.
One media mogul wants Jamaicans to start reading again, but his wishes appears to have resulted into a pictorial publication that has yet to even attract readers.
While legacy players play catch up, The Kingston Chronicle is leading the way. Exciting and new concepts that will totally revolutionize media, new media as it is known today and have the positive effect of especially young Jamaicans reading more by maximization the use of technology on multiple platforms.
The web alternative newspaper and blog per Jamaican parish project is the brainchild of The Kingston Chronicle Ltd.
