It’s easy for the facts to be buried amongst the proliferation of media entities—not forgetting citizen journalists—spanning traditional and virtual spheres. Almost everyone has a strong opinion that they wish to share, and everyone with a platform shares liberally, often dismissing the key tenet of journalism—just the facts. Elections provide, to the population, the chance to make their voices heard with their votes. Dadli Media Pop-Up is as the name suggests—a pop-up media entity, covering, in this first instance, the Antigua and Barbuda 2023 general elections.
