Radio 1 is one of the biggest radio stations in Haiti. It broadcasts nationwide and online to a diaspora audience. One of the first staff members to go back to the station in the hours after the disaster was music manager and DJ Carel Pedre, a well-known Haitian broadcaster and social media enthusiast with a strong Facebook presence and a Twitter feed followed by thousands. This report describes Carel’s visibility on international media and broadcasts on Radio 1.
