Negril’s online mediahouse
exposing the Arts of Jamaica!!!
Anthea McGibbon, Content Editor
FOR OVER 10 years, Negril.com remains dedicated to exposing the Heart, Arts and Culture of Jamaica. Negril.com recognises that visitors to the island especially are attracted to the island because of the island’s unique culture and multiskilled people. Negril.com strives to unfold Jamaica’s varied art expressions through reviews, commentaries, interviews, and tips readers can use, especially while in Jamaica.
This especially as there are those persons who shy away from reading the local news, sometimes filled with reports on crime within Jamaica. Currently, there are hotels that do not allow immediate access to local newspapers for this reason, and hence preventing them from grasping a full understanding of the island and its offering otherwise.
The online mediahouse, however, in no way competes, but rather compliments exisiting media houses. It operates as an an extension of the coverage of Arts and Culture of local media houses. It is staffed by a qualified editorial team, long experienced with the varied arts and expressions and are themselves seasoned and proliferic journalists in this regard.
Anthea McGibbon, an experienced art critic and artist herself functions as the Content Editor. She still on occasion contributes to the the Gleaner’s Art Section.
Some of these persons contribute on a voluntary basis, joining the quest to see Jamaica take its rightful place at the pinnacle of the world. The vision of the team is to use arts and culture to transform the outlook of and from Jamaica.
Partnering with companies such as Negril Education Environment Trust, performing and visual artists, as well as the popular spots around the island, it is hoped that even the most insatiable hunger for interaction with Jamaica and its people will be filled.
