The Fifth Estate: a sample of blogs in Guyana

Activity: Live readings and discussion
Date: 23rd August 2018
Host: Moray House Trust

Blogging is now a substantial part of the social media discourse in and about Guyana. There are many positive aspects to blogging, sometimes called ‘the fifth estate’ particularly in a society such as ours. Local bloggers seem to be more adventurous in their choice of topics than mainstream media writers and often bring a fresh perspective to the issue in focus. Accordingly, Moray House Trust reached out to four bloggers and invited them to share some of their thoughts at a live event.

Here is a blog about the event by Vidyratha Kissoon who was the moderator for the evening:
