The Media in Barbados can be sorted, loosely, into

two categories: Old Media and New Media.

Old Media, (i.e., pre-Internet), are the newspapers,

radio and television entities of Barbados. They've been

around since the dawn of Barbadian man (and woman).

Their products are consumed by Barbadians from all

walks of life. Even with their relatively recent

forays into the Internet age, their busness models

still largely reflect their Old Media roots.

Old Media:

The Nation Newspaper (print newspaper)

The Barbados Advocate (print newspaper)

Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation (radio and t.v.)

New media (i.e., post-Internet):

Barbados Today (online newspaper)

The Bajan Reporter (online 'zine)

But Wait! There's More! (sounding all t.v. salesman-like)

Barbados Free Press and Barbados Undergound.

Two controversial and opinionated Barbadian blogs

Both written anonymously.

As such, they can, and do, tackle issues that would

normally make the legal departments in O.M. and N.M. worry.

However, because they are anonymous, it also raises

questions about their motivations, accountability

and transparency.

In any case, both blogs make for interesting

reading and reveal a different side
