In a world where journalism is under constant threat, the staff at the Haitian Times are facing unimaginable challenges for simply doing their job – telling the truth.
Founded 25 years ago, this online publication covers the Haitian community in the United States, shedding light on important issues affecting first- and second-generation Haitians. Recently, the site was targeted with racist messages and threats for debunking a fake story about immigrants in Ohio eating pets of local residents.
One editor, Macollvie Neel, even had the police show up at her doorstep after a false report of a gruesome crime. Despite this intimidation, the Haitian Times is not backing down. Founder and publisher Garry Pierre-Pierre vows to continue reporting the truth without fear or favor.
The site has received an outpouring of support from journalists and advocacy groups, showing solidarity in the face of hate and adversity. As they continue to navigate this challenging landscape, the Haitian Times remains committed to its mission of providing honest and insightful journalism to its readers.
Stay tuned as we stand with the Haitian Times in their fight against misinformation and harassment. Together, we can support and protect the voices that matter most.
