According to sources close to Irie FM, veteran Jamaican disc jock Elise Kelly was pulled from the radio waves yesterday morning after she read an e-mail from a listener that suggested that deejay Mavado should not have been nominated for a humanitarian award simply because he had given away a few computers because his songs advocate brutal violence, i.e 'blowing out marrow and scatter on the wall' etcetera.
She then opened up the lines to allow the operator to tell the world what the listening public was saying about that decision.
Will Elise Kelly return to the air this morning? And what happened to free speech and self examination? Is there no more room for dialogue and discussion even among media interests who should foster exactly that sort of activity? We have been trying to get more information on the issue.
