CALL FOR NEW ENTERTAINMENT LEGISLATION  
A senior official of the Film Censor Board in Grenada is calling on the authorities to revamp the existing legislation to take into consideration developments within the communications and entertainment industries. Roman Catholic priest Father Sean Doggett, who is also chairman of the board, says there is need to put in place new laws because the present legislation does not provide the necessary framework to deal with the realities in the communication and entertainment sectors. "Our island has seen a virtual explosion of new media, such as television, AM and FM radio stations, movie houses, live shows, CDs and other music, posters and other print media and secondly, some of the offerings of these varied media provoke public complaints about loss of decency and morality, as well as increasingly violent content showing the abuse of women and children," says Doggett.
