President Martelly appointed Dr. Harrison Ernest the new Deputy General Director of Haiti National Radio.

He is a respected talk-show host, who explores topics of current interest to Haitians. He has been praised for his fearlessness in uncovering public figures' dishonesty and ruthlessness.

He is an authoritative but unaffected radio presence. He discusses issues with listeners in an easy give-and-take. Progressive radio will be a stronger force as a result of his leadership.
