This video was taken down as well, and it was down from 25 August to 9 September. This had a serious influence on my channel views, subscription and income. After investigation, TH-cam has confirmed the request to take down this video due to a copyright claim was illegal and this video was reinstated on the 9th of September 2021. Today, 31 October, the original first video was also reinstated 🎉💪and can be watched here: th-cam.com/video/w1vEEzSFZfU/w-d-xo.html It was down from 20 August to 31 October. I will make an episode soon to explain this situation and how important it is to understand law and your rights. Thanks to EVERYONE for so much support! === How dare I criticize the work of Jamaican Local Media? Actually, criticizing journalistic work is a common practice in many countries. Different media groups always criticize each other, but not the case in Jamaica. The reason you don't see it being done in Jamaica is very simple - there is not enough serious media competition. MEDIA are the only ones who can criticize other MEDIA, but Jamaica almost has a monopoly, especially when it comes to television. Sure, there are other TV stations in Jamaica, but TVJ dominates the field so much, that the voices of others barely get heard. That's why I created this video.
That is very true and as someone living abroad, TVJ is the dominant news report and it is never anything positive. It seems it wants to destroy its own country with negativity/ negative news non-stop! It seems the camera persons and reporters enjoy talking trash and I feel they laugh at the people they interview back in the editing room, I really do. And everyone/ diaspora’s are just lapping it up overseas (UK)
Dats why me just watch SMC nuh true Berriodos. I genuinely used to wonder why I hated the news. This answers so much. I will look at what’s going on but don’t share or “watch” it
Criminals delight in knowing they/their actions made the news...media in Ja is actually fueling crime and negativity. Investigative, unbiased and uplifting journalism is needed. Who is paying who determines what gets out there
TVJ has been exposed for very shoddy journalism. Well done, Irena! Jamaicans have your back and I am glad you stood your ground and successfully fought the frivolous copyright infringement claims from TVJ.
Jamaican adopt America (European) Ideology, ways and lost their dignity! The only thing most Jamaicans stand for today is a Passport, Visa and a green card. It's a SHAME
I migrated to the USA 40 yrs ago. I often think about investing in Jamaica by starting a non-profit in a rural area; however, looking at the media reports and just listening to family members who binge on media reports in Jamaica, I am discouraged from doing so. The Jamaica media helps paint the negative picture of the island. Thanks to Irina and some other Jamaican TH-camrs, I am encouraged by their work to highlight the positive aspects of living or doing business in Jamaica.
The thinking process of some Jamaican is very off, if Jamaica was such a terror, then why so much Chinese and Indians are there building businesses and buying up resources?
When you really want to do something for the betterment of the masses NO outside influence should have a say it is people who make changes not the government and media, as Muta say it nuh good fi stay inna white man country too long, we experience a lot of shit overseas and we find ways to cope we should have the Same energy to help build the land of our birth NO excuses
Stop talk garbage and go help you people dem if you have any cojones. Crime and insecurity is a very real issue daily in Jamaica but your people have to Live .
Good day I must applaud you for this comment reason being I have been saying this for years because the Jamaica media both vlogs and television broadcasts the 5 percent bad aspect Jamaica and not the 95 percent of beauty rich heritage, such as the beach rivers atmosphere etc.
If you follow the news people you never so anything in Jamaica. I know that its such a distraction. This is why so many other people invest in our country. They know the value. Come home come do yuh business.
You see these people, this is why I really don’t read or watch any reporting from these fools. I also don’t agree with giving my hard earned money to any of them. I think all people who are now “educated” better about media manipulation should carefully examine and choose their news reading and watching sources. I am so happy you’ve overcome these bullies and extremely grateful for your educating me. Iré I am truly impressed with you and I have so much respect for your professionalism. Keep doing what you’re doing and stay strong. Manipulators whose bottom line becomes threatened by truthful revelation of their lying practices will always seek to use their “power” to bully individuals. Mi done now. Peace and love Ire.
Irie great video, issues I have had and questions I've always asked have been highlighted and answered. I must also inform you though in the story about abducted in Jamaica may be true, the criminals are brazen and do hold you for hours sometimes. I know of a young woman who took a taxi on Red hills road at that huge store and ended up in Portmore. That was over 45 minutes and the taxi driver was involved. They continued to pick up passengers and robbed them before letting them go. I have been scarred years ago while watching the news...had nightmare for a weeks when children were being murdered and then the government erected a monument at the corner of Church street and Tower street with the names of the children who lost their lives (empty tiles for more names was thought of and is available). It was so traumatic for me I couldn't walk pass and If I have to go down that side I avoid walking pass it up to this day. I believe that was one of the worst thing to do.
You've done so much more highlighting the beauty and attractiveness of Jamaica, than any of these haters. It's your honesty in your representation that intrigues me the most to make me want to come home.
It would be great if a large portion of Jamaican population get expose to this type of information and demand more from the local media. This is great stuff 👏
This is gold. Thanks Irena, you have highlighted points of concerns for many years. Especially after living in a few other countries. Unfortunately I oftentimes wonder who pays the media or rather who the media supports….. Jamaica or they have a specific agenda. These also include the newspapers.
Atlanta.. well l came across your TH-cam channel and l just love your outlook on different topics. You are professional and knowledgeable. thanks for your wonderful videos.
I am currently suffering from jet lag having not long arrived back in the UK from Jamaica I thought I would just check TH-cam before going to bed when this popped up as a recommendation and I am so glad it did as what a great watch. Thanks Irie this was so insightful and interesting. I personally now want to watch more positive things in my life. EDIT: I forgot to mention this was my first visit to Jamaica and wow what a country it is gorgeous and the people that I encountered (which were a lot as all Jamaicans stop and say hello lol ) were so friendly
Thank you for sharing your experience with Jamaica and with the video! :) Glad you enjoyed the trip! And thank you for investing the time into watching despite jetlag! 🤗
As a former Mass Communications student, I can say for a fact that this video is of a quality that could (& should) be presented in a university class on “media ethics” or “media propaganda” or “subliminal suggestion in TV presentation”. This is quality stuff. Irina. You nailed it !! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you, Irina, for this vlog! I'm so glad that you're able to continue with this story on how the media impacts Jamaica! I love your style of reporting and believe you'd do a great job teaching Media Communications at the University level! You've been a positive force for Jamaica and I hope you'll be able to continue to share happenings in Jamaica from independent lens!! Kudos on another great job!! Btw, your exposé is actually giving media outlets a chance to correct deficiencies in their reporting!!💯
They are going to tired to see your face…. But can’t get you outta di race. We love you Irie. Keep up the good work… the truth hurts.. you gave them the criticism that could make them better… it was a missed opportunity for them….
I'm always in awe when a journalist tries to get info from a relative who had just lost a loved one 🤷🏾♀️ I'm like are they all just heartless or what? How do you question someone at a time like that? it's sickening.
precisely. However, this is something journalists get used to if they do it often enough, and they don't even notice.. they view it like this "why not? I'm just doing my job"
Am glad u bring this to light i have been saying this for a long time now I'm scared of the news is a hood thing am a in the street person so i get to see what is happening on the ground
TVJ does nothing for the Jamaican communities. So many people need a spotlight on the hardship Jamaicans are going through, bring attention to those concerns and visiting communities. to bring change. Irene, your work is great.
TVJ cant be taken down because their party have use of them since everytime they bring up murder statistics the same party parrot the same to push an agenda.
Congratulations! So happy you won your legal battle. More happy that you called out the Jamaican media for their disservice to the country. They are the best example of media bias and it’s sad how they aim for sensationalism to keep viewers. Let us pray that those media houses correct their practices and start to actually enhance the portrayal of Jamaica.
Thank you so much I was searching for this information all my life and trust me this is gonna make a whole lot of difference in what I watch and how I think love you so much for this
You go, Irina! Great work as per usual. My husband listens to said news company 7am every morning on our way to work. When it starts, I pop in my earpiece and tell him to go get his daily dose of depression. Because that's all it really is TO ME.
Well done IRIE... Im so glad you brought both videos.... im tired of telling Jamaican people how much their journalist and higher society oppress and abuses them... its disgusting....they are VERY unethical and throw value out of the window... Hopefully things change!
Thanks for highlighting the lies on the Tell-Lie-Vision. One of the reason I don't look to the media for truth. Keep up the good work in educating the masses who are blind to these things
Awesome news reporting Irie, 👏 your well learned 👏👍 in your craft and I can't get enough of the excellent work your doing there, 👍👏 I say cheers to you.... stay safe 🙏❤💓💙💕!!!
Brilliant work emppress love the way how you break it done, confirming what I'd felt all along. That our local media use's fear tactics to keep the population in fear. Continue to keep up the good work that your n keep it Irie.
This lady, this lady, a authentic Journalist, simple the best, I agree with you 110%, I have always share these sentiments of the things media report & how they report news with no regards for the public. Thanks you, job well done....again
You caught them with their facts down. I have share your media videos on my Facebook and a couple of discussion groups. I am glad that TVJ have reacted. If they had kept quite it would have passed. They wanted it down not for copyright but for their poor reporting. Cheers to you.
We respect your work and efforts to help educate us all, both at home in Jamaica 🇯🇲 and the USA 🇺🇲 and way beyond...our money run Jamaica so we're entitled to facts and reality...we will continue sharing your thoughts and media content 🙏
I lift my cap to you Irina, I have stopped watching local news over 2 years now and you have successfully highlighted all the reasons I have. My 9 year old brother even thinks TVJ news should be banned.
You had my attention from start to finish. Everyone please share this video. Irina, you’re awesome and I cannot thank you enough for all the positive things you’re doing for Jamaica. ❤️
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE ,, I must inform you that Senior Management of the said Media entity oftentimes manipulate Reporters on what to broadcast and even the format it takes. The Print Media is particularly guilty of this in Jamaica. I can tell you about this .
I hope people have managed to relate/connect the things said in the video to reports around the world about the current flu/"virus". Because the business model remains the same all over the world, only slightly more disgusting and corrupt. God bless you for a video like this, every contribution to opening the eyes of the peopel is worthy of respect.
I am so happy for this video. It exposes these media houses in Jamaica. These kind of reports are running away retired citizens who would like to return home, but when they watched the news on these platforms it makes them depress because all they think about is the crime in Jamaica. There's much good going on in Jamaica. I can see why they want to take the video down. But Irina, I commend you for great investigative journalism work and good coverage on this.
Excellent reporting Irie! I am a returning resident who just built a home in Westmoreland. I never drank the cool aid regarding the irrational crime reporting in Jamaica. It’s very similar to how race and crime are dealt with in the news in the US.
THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO!! So much truth and an eye opener for everyone to think and analyze what the see and hear. But it is long known that sensationalism sells way more than boring. We know where your heart is, in the love of 🇯🇲. One Love !!!
Jamaica is certainly blessed to have someone like you who is fair and unbiased in your reporting. Everything that you report are always backed by facts. As someone in law enforcement I always wonder why the police have citizens and the media in their crime scenes. How are crimes going to get solved when it's contaminated. Good never comes easy so I hope you continue your great work knowing that you have the support of many people local and international.
You sound so malable the farin women a Mel har money pin TH-cam,yet you overlook all the Jamaicas on the ground trying to make a good society against all the odds
Irie keep up the good work_ your representation is making Jamaica better _ your reporting is positive and objective. Look at who bad journalist at the star reported that the young adult cut off her locks her self🙄 without valid references. The nation is tired of them! Thank you Irie!
I rarely write a TH-cam comment but I had to because I 100% agree with you. I will even go as far to say the Jamaican media is lazy and irresponsible and they are one of the main reason why we have so much corruption and violence in Jamaica. They worry more about protecting the 'freedom of the press' and not understanding the responsible of this 'freedom'. They are the worst. Great job! As a proud Jamaican I appreciate what you are doing and I'm also sad that you are the only one that is doing it. One Love
Wow... What a breath of fresh air... I will be looking at TVJ in a completely different light...your take on the reporting of crime stats is an eye opener... Thank you! New subbie!
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE ,,, The Gleaner/ RJR Group would do well with a series of seminars on effective , responsible and unbiased Journalism. I can obviously see that you are a class act !!!!!
Simply exceptional, eye opening info that simply is not paid enough or any attention to. We get so numbed down with it all these inaccuracies just fly over our heads. Thank you so very much. I've already shared it in a few groups half way through the video.
This criticism of the local Jamaican media will hopefully, work to drive up the standard of good journalism. You have laid down the gauntlet Irina, and I am sure those journalists who take pride in their work will view this as a stain on their reputation and credibility; in the journalism industry, as a whole. Hopefully, it will instigate a change in those questionable journalism practices in the Jamaican local media. No longer will they be able to sit back and pat each other on the backs for a job well done. Given that, one of their own are critiquing media output. Very well done!!!
@Chadrick Walker Laziness is the real reason for continuing to promote bad stories. It's their go to topic for easy public engagement; it requires menial effort to find stories involving gang violence. Feel good stories takes more time and some creativity to gain public interest; that's too much hard work. So their industry awards seem meaningless; as a result. Laughable in fact!! Which is unfair for those hard working journalists who do take pride in their profession.
Everything you report in this video is accurate. Regrettably it is an increasing feature of journalism all over the world. Unfortunately there is an enormous appetite for this type of irresponsible and low quality reporting, otherwise it would not continue. Critical thinking skills should be a compulsory skill in the curriculum of every school. Very few people adopt a critical stance when it comes to evaluating the accuracy, the misguided and sometimes dangerous approaches to reporting the news. This is why many journalist often get away with inccurate, irresponsible and an overyly obsessive attraction to negativity in reporting. Citizens, put your thinking caps on and start crtiquing and rejecting poor reporting.
Jamaica has been at the BOTTOM, meaning the WORSE over the years for doing this. Honestly it doesn't matter what is going on around the world, it's not our place to compare and that's the biggest problem with most Jamaicans. They like to point out that "others are doing it too".....that mindset needs to change.
You are right, shady journalism is increasing all over the world but Jamaica can be that great example of how journalism should be done. They just need to take a page from the Jamaican track and field athletes.
Wow this video was so insightful and touches on some things I myself have questioned. Brilliant job. This got me interested in journalism, like the mechanics and ethics of it. Superb!
Nice Mrs. Irie you are surely our Newscaster for us Jamaicans living in America..because of you I now understand exaggerative news reporting...these reporters has to do it this way to get the money 💰..I hope they learn from this. Keep doing what you do we here for you.
Bravo !! Superb !! Hats off to you !! I applaud your scrutiny and unbiased diagnosis of the flaws in journalism in Jamaica. Keep them on their toes Irina !!

Digicel & JPS also needs competition because they have been fleecing the people far too long.
THANKS IRIE... FOR BRINGING US GREAT CONTENT... 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you.
Love love love this video. The type of content that tests your ability to do critical thinking.
Dats why me just watch SMC nuh true Berriodos. I genuinely used to wonder why I hated the news. This answers so much. I will look at what’s going on but don’t share or “watch” it
Yes, yes, so true!
You are a sellout dutty berry
U need to cover this report. So others can see
Jamaican news reporters twist reports to manipulate their views
No weapon that form against you shall prosper.You love Jamaica,and we love you.Fair and balance journalism.
Ironic a media company trying to silence a journalist..... Keep the content coming much love!
I hope this gets viral across Jamaica
We have to help to spread this information
Just spread this to Friends & Family while asking them 2 share this other Friends n Family for starters!!
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
They are taught to be entitled, but they are an ignorant set.
Nuff Respect to our local Warrior Irina, big up yourself and keep going!! People who love the truth will always stand by you🙌🙌❤🇯🇲❤
Well said!
Yes, we will.
Criminals delight in knowing they/their actions made the news...media in Ja is actually fueling crime and negativity. Investigative, unbiased and uplifting journalism is needed.

I lift my cap to you Irina, I have stopped watching local news over 2 years now and you have successfully highlighted all the reasons I have. My 9 year old brother even thinks TVJ news should be banned.
You had my attention from start to finish. Everyone please share this video. Irina, you’re awesome and I cannot thank you enough for all the positive things you’re doing for Jamaica. ❤️
Thank you so much! 🤗I really appreciate all the support!
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE ,, I must inform you that Senior Management of the said Media entity oftentimes manipulate Reporters on what to broadcast and even the format it takes. The Print Media is particularly guilty of this in Jamaica. I can tell you about this .
I hope people have managed to relate/connect the things said in the video to reports around the world about the current flu/"virus". Because the business model remains the same all over the world, only slightly more disgusting and corrupt. God bless you for a video like this, every contribution to opening the eyes of the peopel is worthy of respect.
I am so happy for this video. It exposes these media houses in Jamaica. These kind of reports are running away retired citizens who would like to return home, but when they watched the news on these platforms it makes them depress because all they think about is the crime in Jamaica. There's much good going on in Jamaica. I can see why they want to take the video down. But Irina, I commend you for great investigative journalism work and good coverage on this.
Fantastic story. I surely learnt quite a lot
Excellent reporting Irie! I am a returning resident who just built a home in Westmoreland. I never drank the cool aid regarding the irrational crime reporting in Jamaica. It’s very similar to how race and crime are dealt with in the news in the US.
I respect you Irie for all what you have been doing yes some of them make Jamaica look bad
Irie I love you content, thank you.
Oof TVJ 🤣
This was very good. You're invincible now. I'm glad the video was redone so my friends could watch it. Can't wait for the reupload
A jah send you come fix Jamaica and you are doing it in every way. I love your work
THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO!! So much truth and an eye opener for everyone to think and analyze what the see and hear. But it is long known that sensationalism sells way more than boring. We know where your heart is, in the love of 🇯🇲. One Love !!!
You speak the truth, tvj has got 3 (three individuals) killed by the reporters showing there faces.
Jamaica is certainly blessed to have someone like you who is fair and unbiased in your reporting. Everything that you report are always backed by facts. As someone in law enforcement I always wonder why the police have citizens and the media in their crime scenes. How are crimes going to get solved when it's contaminated. Good never comes easy so I hope you continue your great work knowing that you have the support of many people local and international.
my thoughts exactly about civilians hanging out at crime scenes. I will ask the Police when I get a chance to interview them.
You sound so malable the farin women a Mel har money pin TH-cam,yet you overlook all the Jamaicas on the ground trying to make a good society against all the odds
Irie keep up the good work_ your representation is making Jamaica better _ your reporting is positive and objective. Look at who bad journalist at the star reported that the young adult cut off her locks her self🙄 without valid references. The nation is tired of them! Thank you Irie!
Thank you for decoding how the media works for those who don't know. Knowledge gets me hight 😂😂😂
I rarely write a TH-cam comment but I had to because I 100% agree with you. I will even go as far to say the Jamaican media is lazy and irresponsible and they are one of the main reason why we have so much corruption and violence in Jamaica. They worry more about protecting the 'freedom of the press' and not understanding the responsible of this 'freedom'. They are the worst. Great job! As a proud Jamaican I appreciate what you are doing and I'm also sad that you are the only one that is doing it. One Love
Continue to work hard, you do great journalism work. The truth normally hurts, so thank you for your dedicated service and keep going.
Wow... What a breath of fresh air... I will be looking at TVJ in a completely different light...your take on the reporting of crime stats is an eye opener... Thank you!
New subbie!
Trinidad needs your skills man! THIS IS GOLD
much love to Trinidad 💕🇹🇹
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE ,,, The Gleaner/ RJR Group would do well with a series of seminars on effective , responsible and unbiased Journalism.
I can obviously see that you are a class act !!!!!
Thank you my dear for bringing out the true beauty of Jamaica…🙏🏿🙏🏿🤗🤗💕💕🌺🌺🌺
Thank you for your fair and balanced narratives about Jamaica.
Simply exceptional, eye opening info that simply is not paid enough or any attention to. We get so numbed down with it all these inaccuracies just fly over our heads. Thank you so very much. I've already shared it in a few groups half way through the video.
You are the best Irene,,, you teach me alot,,, big up yuself!!!
OMG i love this, Thank you for highlighting this madness
This criticism of the local Jamaican media will hopefully, work to drive up the standard of good journalism. You have laid down the gauntlet Irina, and I am sure those journalists who take pride in their work will view this as a stain on their reputation and credibility; in the journalism industry, as a whole. Hopefully, it will instigate a change in those questionable journalism practices in the Jamaican local media. No longer will they be able to sit back and pat each other on the backs for a job well done. Given that, one of their own are critiquing media output. Very well done!!!
@Chadrick Walker Laziness is the real reason for continuing to promote bad stories. It's their go to topic for easy public engagement; it requires menial effort to find stories involving gang violence. Feel good stories takes more time and some creativity to gain public interest; that's too much hard work. So their industry awards seem meaningless; as a result. Laughable in fact!! Which is unfair for those hard working journalists who do take pride in their profession.
One of the most patriotic Jamaican I know. I love you my Jamaican sister.
Everything you report in this video is accurate. Regrettably it is an increasing feature of journalism all over the world. Unfortunately there is an enormous appetite for this type of irresponsible and low quality reporting, otherwise it would not continue. Critical thinking skills should be a compulsory skill in the curriculum of every school. Very few people adopt a critical stance when it comes to evaluating the accuracy, the misguided and sometimes dangerous approaches to reporting the news. This is why many journalist often get away with inccurate, irresponsible and an overyly obsessive attraction to negativity in reporting. Citizens, put your thinking caps on and start crtiquing and rejecting poor reporting.
Jamaica has been at the BOTTOM, meaning the WORSE over the years for doing this. Honestly it doesn't matter what is going on around the world, it's not our place to compare and that's the biggest problem with most Jamaicans. They like to point out that "others are doing it too".....that mindset needs to change.
You are right, shady journalism is increasing all over the world but Jamaica can be that great example of how journalism should be done. They just need to take a page from the Jamaican track and field athletes.
Thank you Irie, you open my eyes.
Irina, you really went to town on this one! LOL....wish I could have given you two thumbs up! Brillaint as always, keep up the good work!
Wow this video was so insightful and touches on some things I myself have questioned. Brilliant job. This got me interested in journalism, like the mechanics and ethics of it. Superb!
THANK YOU IRENE. TOTAL ENJOYED YOUR COMMENTARY. AND I LEARNT AS WELL.
Nice Mrs. Irie you are surely our Newscaster for us Jamaicans living in America..because of you I now understand exaggerative news reporting...these reporters has to do it this way to get the money 💰..I hope they learn from this. Keep doing what you do we here for you.
Thank you for this ....shed a light on the negativity & heights fear mongering not to mention the gross inaccuracies...Thank you!!
