AND A SUCCESSFUL ONE, IT WAS!!!
St. George's, June 30, 2009 -- The Media Workers Association of Grenada wishes to express gratitude to all media houses and individual practitioners who contributed to and participated in the various activities staged as part of the just ended 17th observance of media week.
MWAG would also like to place on record our appreciation for the
tremendous show of support and would like to further encourage
practitioners to continue to demonstrate similar interest in the
advancement of the profession.
We extend heartfelt gratitude to the Birch Grove community,
congregation, choir and Father Chiddi of the St. Mathew’s R.C. church
for embracing our membership in the way they did during our church
service to start the week.
We are particularly delighted that senior members of the profession the
likes, of Josephine McGuire, Trevor Thwaites and George Grant came
forward to set examples by participating in some of the media awareness
talk shows and school visits to share information on the role of the
media in society.
Special mention must be made of the Government Information Service,
Grenada Broadcasting Network, Grenadian Voice, Flow, the United States
Embassy and the Marketing and National Importing Board and other media
workers for contributing to a donation of food items, fruits and
vegetables to this year’s beneficiary, The Cedars Home for Battered
Women.
To all the young journalists who turned out to last Saturday’s session
on the art of news reading, we do encourage you to continue practicing
the techniques discussed.
The executive would also like to thank Rae Roberts , Leslie Ann
Johnson and Tony Julian for the role they played in helping to
facilitate the session.
Overall, we continue to urge media workers in Grenada to come forward
and participate in the activities of the association whether it’s
social activities or serious workshops.
This year’s media week was held under the theme “Media Workers
Challenge to Engage in more Research, Dialogue, and Investigation to
Communicate”.
