A source has informed me that the RJR group is facing major financial challenges and changes are coming. Power 106 FM and Hitz FM will be no more and the Gleaner building will be sold.
This has not been confirmed by the management of RJR.
Will they continue to publish the Gleaner newspaper?
This is not good news at all!!

ReplyDelete*A Call to Action: Save The Gleaner*
ReplyDeleteAs Jamaica approaches 2026, it's time to rally behind a national treasure: The Gleaner. Founded in 1834 by Asheniem and the DeCordova brothers,
The Gleaner’s archives have been a beacon of truth ,information and journalism for nearly two centuries. Coinciding with the abolition of slavery,450,000 squatters and the journey to full emancipation in 1838.
The Gleaner's legacy is intertwined with Jamaica's history.
Today, as we face the stark reality of over 1 million squatters – a staggering figure – losing The Gleaner would be a national disgrace. This iconic newspaper, one of the world's oldest, must be saved.
To the 21 families from The Gleaner's founders ,descended we urge you:
stand up and fight back ,be counted.
Your legacy is not just a proud history, but a powerful economic and political force.
Come forward and lead the rescue mission.
We propose a new path: SocioCapitalism, an inclusive, bottom-up capitalism that can transform Jamaica into a Singapore-like nation – murder-free,crime free and poverty-free.
Let's make National Gleaner Day/year in 2026 a turning point.
Buy a Gleaner locally and in the diaspora, share it, and show your support.
Use Gleaner to help with literacy and consciousness in schools.
Jamaica has about the 4th lowest level of literacy in the Caribbean at 88% males 83%,females 93%
Where are our productive capitalists?
Time for action, not empty talk a "bag a mouth" or unproductive Pyramid Scheme capitalism.
