OPEN DIALOGUE 3

Here's another reader weighing in on the Gayelle/local tv discussion.

"Hello...
I often view with enthusiasm the comments that are made about the main players in this media industry...more recently the comments about Gayelle the channel..while I agree with media watch to some extent..I think at times you are highly critical to the extent of being harsh...
Gayelle...I must admit has to live up to the responsibility it has to its audience of providing programming of quality...and to do this I think it has to be steered in the right direction...
Yes, Attillah Springer, Gayelle perhaps has a young crop of workers but this is no excuse for mediocrity...these young people before being allowed to get behind the camera should show that they have indeed acquired the relevant skills ...it is not just exposing them and then leaving them to perform at will...
Gayelle, you are a respected player in the game and every station has its problems but the distinguihing factor is trying to fix those inadequacies rather than making excuses ...

Gayelle enthusiast.
F.L."
