"Haiti Picks Ex-Wall St. Journal Writer as Envoy" - 31 March 2004, by Richard
Prince, in The Devil's in the Details.

"Raymond Joseph, a Brooklyn-based journalist and longtime campaigner for
democracy who was once sentenced to death by the Duvalier regime in Haiti, has
been named chief diplomatic representative to America for the newly formed
government in Port-au-Prince," Errol Louis reports in the New York Sun.

"Mr. Joseph, who is a contributing editor of The New York Sun, will serve in
Washington as chargé d’affairs and lead the Haitian Mission to the United
States. He will hold the rank of ambassador.

"Although Mr. Joseph will head to Washington this week to take charge of
Haiti’s diplomatic staff, yesterday found the new ambassador at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, doing what he does every Tuesday: working with his brother to publish
the latest edition of Haiti Observateur, a family-owned French-language weekly
newspaper distributed in New York and throughout Haiti.
