“I am not a journalist, never had a press card but I always created my own content in my blog since 2005. Travel industry in Carribean is huge, but it’s mainly for the big companies. I want my blog to help small businesses benefit from the tourism opportunities.”
~ Madly Schenin-King
Madly joins the 2016 Tow-Knight Center Entrepreneurial Journalism class from Martinique - an insular region of France located in the Lesser Antilles in the eastern Caribbean Sea. One of the few islands in Carribean that officially speaks French.
Carribean is known to be a world famous tourism spot. According to Caribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO) a total of 26.3 million visitors chose the Caribbean for a land based vacation in 2014. This was a 5.2% increase over the 25 million who travelled to the region the year before.
Carribean Council states that “tourism’s growth and success remain a central element in almost every single Caribbean economy, generating income, taxes and a whole host of other services and industries.”
But not everyone can get its share from this growing industry due to lack of quality information. This is a problem that needs to be solved and Madly sees this as an opportunity to build her own journalism project.
“Travel industry in Carribean is huge. But mostly big companies benefit, not the local people. I want to build an online platform focused on travel industry in Carribean and inform small businesses in order to help them benefit from the tourism opportunities.”

Loves learning languages and new cultures
Madly was born in Martinique and raised in the small island. At the age of 19 she decided to go to Paris and have her bacheloria degree in social sciences. But it didn’t take very long to understand that science was not her true passion. She loved learning languages and new cultures. At age 21 she moved to Madrid to study communications with Erasmus exchange program. Madly can speak French, English, Spanish and Creole - the local language of Martinique.
From public relations to entrepreneurial journalism
Madly got her degree from Sorbonne Corporate Communications and started working in Public Relations, the other side of the media business.
“I started working in the PR industry in 2011, but didn’t like the way it works. Due to excessive communication channels, it is very hard to reach and convince journalists to make stories. That is why I decided to take another path in my life. I heard about this program two years ago, and since then I was dreaming to get here. I think myself more of an entrepreneur than a journalist. When I see an issue I try to fix it.”
We’re all human, we’re all the same
When I ask Madly about an influential person on her life, her answer is, Aimé Césaire - one of the founders of the négritude movement. “Aimé’s ideas inspired me very much. What he basically says that for centuries black people have been slaves and now it’s time for them to be aware of this. He denounces all types of colonialism and I totally agree with him. It doesn’t matter your color, religion or race, In the end we’re all human, we’re all the same.”
