Table 2 – Number of stories from each country analysed for this report.

An examination of other sources of information gathered from interviews and one-on-one interactions was also done as it relates to Youth in Crime and Violence and Trafficking in Persons (TIP). Many of these available sources of information stemmed from government agencies or stakeholders who were supporting efforts to mitigate the issues. The main stakeholder was USAID. A media monitoring subscription service with a news database was accessible for Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados which allowed for much better data collection and in-depth analysis of the key themes. Trinidad and Tobago had the most coverage on TIP but this may be due to the size of its media market and the number of media houses which far surpasses those of the other countries in this report. This is further explained in the media ecosystem overview.
