It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Jill Tracey on November 1, 2024. A former personality at Hot 105 and a dedicated candidate for the District 2 Hollywood City Commission, Jill’s vibrant spirit and infectious laughter will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Jill’s remarkable career included serving as News Director at HOT 105, where she not only showcased her exceptional talent but also inspired countless others in the industry. As past president of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) South Florida chapter, she championed diversity and excellence in journalism, leaving a lasting impact on the community she loved.

Her commitment to public service was evident in her recent candidacy, where she sought to make a difference in the lives of her fellow residents. Despite facing health challenges in recent times, Jill’s resilience and determination never wavered.

Jill Tracey was more than a colleague; she was a beloved member of the South Florida community, known for her warmth, humor, and unwavering support for others. Her legacy will continue to inspire and uplift those she touched throughout her life.

As we remember Jill, we celebrate her contributions, her spirit, and the laughter she brought into our lives. She will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Funeral arrangements will be announced soon.

Condemns Attacks on Haitian Journalists and Purposeful Spread of Disinformation

The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) condemns recent attacks on Haitian journalists representing the Haitian Times, a 25-year-old online publication.

After disinformation quickly began to spread about Haitian immigrants “eating pets” of fellow Springfield, Ohio residents, the staff at the Haitian Times worked tirelessly to disprove such falsehoods, which various news outlets and officials have also done. Now, they face harassment and threats as a result of their efforts to uphold the journalistic principles of truth and accuracy.

For instance, we recently learned that one of the publication’s editors was “doxxed” and then “swatted” after false crimes were reported at her home. This is believed to be a retaliation for the publication’s efforts to combat the unsubstantiated “pet eating” comments.

The spread of such disinformation and the subsequent attacks reflect a willful, malicious, and reckless disregard for human life.

We call on not only local authorities but also political parties and social media platforms to take action against the intentional spread of disinformation that is leading to these senseless attacks.

We call on news leaders to protect their journalists and provide training, just as the Haitian Times did in partnering with the Committee to Protect Journalists. Read more: https://nabjonline.org/blog/nabj-condemns-attacks-on-haitian-journalists-and-purposeful-spread-of-disinformation/
