Held in Georgetown from August 17 to 19 under the theme “Caribbean Media and AI,” AGA 57 brought together media executives, journalists, content creators, policymakers, academics, technology specialists and development partners.

The Assembly endorsed “Caribbean Media Viability” as the theme of the 58th Annual General Assembly in 2027 and supported a year-long programme intended to move the region from diagnosing the pressures facing media to developing practical, Caribbean-owned responses.

PRESIDENT ALI: AI MUST REMAIN A TOOL IN THE SERVICE OF JOURNALISM

In his keynote address at the Opening Ceremony and Hall of Fame Induction, President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, His Excellency Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali, said artificial intelligence will transform Caribbean media by enabling newsrooms to transcribe and translate content, analyse large volumes of data and work more efficiently. He cautioned, however, that technology must remain a tool in the service of journalism.

“Never allow the technology to become the journalist,” President Ali urged, stressing that AI cannot replace editorial judgement, context and human experience.

President Ali called on the regional media industry to strengthen verification systems and establish clear standards for the disclosure of AI-generated content.

MEDIA VIABILITY INITIATIVE TO DRIVE REGIONAL ACTION

Against a backdrop of serious challenges to indigenous media services in broadcast, print and digital sectors, the CBU Assembly announced a new strategic activity focused on advancing the sector.   The Caribbean Media Viability Initiative will convene broadcasters, print and digital publishers, independent producers, educators, regulators, policymakers, advertisers, technology platforms and development partners from across the Dutch, English, French and Spanish-speaking Caribbean. It will focus on solutions that strengthen the sustainability, resilience, competitiveness and editorial independence of Caribbean media.

The programme is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026 with online, solutions-focused colloquia examining sustainable business models, AI and digital transformation, public trust, audience engagement, content innovation, skills development and strategic partnerships. The findings will inform the Conference Day at AGA 58 and the development of a Caribbean Media Viability Roadmap.

The Plenary endorsed “Caribbean Media Viability” as the theme of AGA 58, scheduled for mid-August 2027. The host, venue and exact dates will be announced separately by the CBU.

MEDIA INDUSTRY OVERVIEW TO ESTABLISH REGIONAL BASELINE

The Assembly also launched the CBU Media Industry Overview, being coordinated by Immediate Past President Dr. Claire Grant. The initial publication of what is expected to be an annual report will be in the first quarter of 2027.

The Overview will examine the sector’s structure, reach, ownership, workforce and operating environment. It will also address media viability, freedom of information, journalists’ safety, training and capacity-building, digital transition, the influence of major technology platforms and media and communications resilience.

The evidence base is intended to strengthen CBU advocacy, policy engagement, business planning and professional development while giving decision-makers a more reliable picture of the pressures and opportunities shaping Caribbean media. Members were encouraged to complete outstanding survey responses, with commercially sensitive information to be handled confidentially and reported only in aggregate.

MEDIA STALWARTS HONOURED

The CBU Caribbean Media Hall of Fame welcomed two distinguished regional figures: the late journalist Rickey Singh and the late media and communications academic Professor Aggrey Brown. Their induction recognised lives devoted to fearless journalism, media education, Caribbean consciousness and public service.

Extended presentations on their work and impact were delivered during Conference Day by Caribbean journalist and media trainer Wesley Gibbings, on Mr. Singh, and Dr. Patrick Prendergast, Director of the Caribbean School of Media and Communication at The University of the West Indies, Mona, on Professor Brown.

Belizean journalist Jules Vasquez, News Director of 7News Belize, received the CMIA–CBU Caribbean Defender of Media Freedom Award. The honour recognised more than three decades of investigative reporting, rigorous scrutiny of public officials and sustained defence of journalists’ right to report in the public interest despite legal, political and commercial pressure.

FOUR NEW MEMBERS RECEIVE CERTIFICATES

The Plenary welcomed four organisations admitted to CBU membership during 2026 and presented membership certificates to their representatives: DigitalShark Inc. of Barbados, represented by Chief Executive Officer Rivelino Simmons; the Cayman Islands Government Department of Communications, represented by Head of Content and Productions Annick Jackman; Compass TV, operated by Compass Media in the Cayman Islands, represented by General Manager Richard O’Carroll. Chief Executive Officer of digital magazine Richès Karayib of Martinique, Sabrina Ajax was not in attendance.

The additions extend CBU representation across commercial media, government communications and digital-first publishing in the English and French-speaking Caribbean. They also support the CBU’s wider effort to broaden participation among media organisations and qualified individual professionals and content creators.

THREE DIRECTORS ELECTED TO CBU BOARD

Two new members have been added to the Board of Directors, following the election of officers: Mr. Sanka Price, CEO of the Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation in Barbados and Richard O’Carroll, General Manager of Compass Media in the Cayman Islands were elected for the 2026–2028 term.  They join re-elected Board members, Mr. Chris Jarett, Director of Radio Turks and Caicos, as well as members continuing terms scheduled to end next year.

The remainder of the Board is:

• President, Mr. Anthony Greene, General Manager of Starcom Network Inc Barbados
• Vice President, Ms. Marleni Cuellar, CEO of Greater Belize Media
• Mr. Neaz Subhan, CEO of NCN Guyana and co-chair of the AGA 57 Local Organising Committee
• Ms. Dionne John, CEO of NBC St. Vincent & the Grenadines
• Ms. Colleen Holder Corporation Communications at the Parliament Channel in Trinidad & Tobago
• Mr. Gavin Belle, General Manager of ZIZ Broadcasting Corporation of St. Kitts & Nevis

On Sunday, August 16, and Monday, August 17, 2026, delegates will have the opportunity to explore the country’s history and culture, see its development firsthand, engage with leaders in broadcasting and agriculture, and sample some of its distinctive flavours.

Sunday, August 16: Discover Guyana

The programme begins with a tour of Georgetown, where delegates can experience the capital’s iconic landmarks and learn more about the history and culture that have shaped Guyana.

From the city, the journey continues along the new highways towards the Linden–Soesdyke Highway and Madewini Villas and Lake. This scenic stop offers a relaxing boat ride and lakeside experience—a chance to enjoy another side of Guyana’s natural beauty.

Delegates will also visit the Bharrat Jagdeo Demerara Harbour Bridge, a major piece of national infrastructure. Its spectacular lighting promises to make the landmark particularly memorable.

The day concludes at the Guyana–China Friendship Park, a contemporary public space symbolising friendship, cooperation and national development.

Monday, August 17: Broadcast, Grow and Taste Guyana

Monday’s itinerary connects delegates with three defining elements of modern Guyana: broadcasting, agriculture and cuisine.

A visit to the National Communications Network Inc. (NCN) will take delegates inside Guyana’s flagship broadcasting house. For media professionals from across the region, the tour offers an opportunity to see its operations, exchange ideas and strengthen professional connections.

The programme then turns to one of Guyana’s best-loved local foods: the Guyanese eggball. Made with a boiled egg wrapped in seasoned cassava and fried until golden, it offers delegates a delicious introduction to the country’s culinary traditions. Cassava balls will also be available.

At the National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute (NAREI), delegates will learn about Guyana’s agricultural ambitions and its focus on innovation, sustainability and regional leadership. As food security becomes an increasingly important Caribbean priority, the visit will provide valuable insight into Guyana’s growing role in the sector.

The experience concludes with lunch at Grand Coastal, bringing delegates together for conversation, local cuisine and warm Guyanese hospitality.

More Than an Assembly

The CBU Annual General Assembly is an important forum for regional dialogue, collaboration and decision-making. This year’s host-country programme adds another dimension: an opportunity to encounter Guyana through its people, places, institutions and flavours.

Delegates can look forward to strengthening connections with colleagues from across the Caribbean while creating lasting memories in one of the region’s most dynamic destinations.

Come for the Assembly. Stay for the experience. Discover Guyana, connect with the Caribbean and make the CBU 57th AGA a visit to remember.

Attendees of the CBU 57th Annual General Assembly are invited to join Eutelsat and Co-op Cable for a timely discussion on the technologies shaping the future of broadcasting across the Caribbean.

The session, Eutelsat Solutions: Caribbean, will explore how broadcasters can use satellite technology to strengthen service reliability, expand audience reach and respond to the region’s evolving media landscape. Participants will also hear firsthand how Co-op Cable is leveraging satellite innovation to deliver dependable direct-to-home (DTH) services across the Caribbean.

The discussion will feature:

• Guillermo Haller, Sales Director Media, Latin America, Eutelsat
• Richard Rawlins, CEO, Co-op Cable
• Jim Calaroccia, Sales Director Media, North America, Eutelsat

With broadcasters facing changing audience expectations and increasingly complex distribution requirements, this session will offer valuable perspectives on building resilient services and reaching viewers wherever they are.

As President and Chair of the CBU Board of Directors, I am delighted to welcome you to the launch of the 57th Caribbean Broadcasting Union Annual General Assembly and 37^th CBU Media Awards, set to take place in Guyana, the Land of Many Waters, from August 17 to 19, 2026.

This year, we gather under a theme that could not be more timely or more urgent: “Caribbean Media and Artificial Intelligence.”

Artificial Intelligence is no longer on the horizon; it is already reshaping how content is produced, distributed, translated, monetised, archived and consumed. It is changing how audiences receive information, how newsrooms verify facts, and how media institutions plan for the future.

For Caribbean media, the question is not whether Artificial Intelligence will affect us. Let’s be honest – it already has. The real question is this – how do we respond in a way that protects our people, strengthens our institutions, preserves our culture, and positions Caribbean media to lead with confidence, credibility and creativity?

That is why this 57th CBU Annual General Assembly is so important.

This year’s Assembly is the space for media leaders, broadcasters, journalists, technical professionals, policymakers, academics, development partners and content creators to examine the opportunities and risks of Artificial Intelligence in a Caribbean context.

We will explore innovation, while examining the ethics, authenticity, trust, safety and inclusion required of media practitioners in small developing societies, where information can quickly shape public confidence and national conversation.

So here’s what you can expect from this year’s AGA – We kick off with the Opening Ceremony featuring keynote speaker, the President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, His Excellency Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali.

We are honoured that UNESCO Caribbean Representative, Mr. Eric Falt, will participate in the Opening Ceremony and help to frame our discussions around this year’s theme – particularly in relation to UNESCO’s important work with Caribbean Member States on the ethical, safe and inclusive deployment of Artificial Intelligence.

The Conference Day will further deepen the conversation, with the Honourable Kwame McCoy, Minister with responsibility for Information and Public Affairs in the Office of the Prime Minister of Guyana, delivering the keynote address.

We will also hear from a strong slate of presenters, including the Honourable E.J. Saunders, Minister of Innovation, Technology and Energy of the Turks and Caicos Islands Government, and Mr. Embert Charles, President of the World Association for Christian Communication, who will speak on the important topic, “AI and Authenticity: Covering Caribbean Culture.”

In an age when images can be manufactured, voices can be cloned, and stories can be distorted at speed, Caribbean media must remain a trusted public space. We must ensure that our languages, accents, histories, communities and creative expressions are not flattened, misrepresented or erased by technologies that were not designed with us in mind.

At the same time, we must not approach AI with fear, because  used responsibly, it can help Caribbean media houses become more efficient, expand audience reach, improve accessibility, support disaster preparedness, strengthen archives, and create new possibilities for content delivery and regional collaboration.

Technology will also be a key focus of the Assembly, with Eutelsat hosting a workshop for senior broadcast engineers and technical officers on expanding reach, strengthening resilience, supporting emergency communications and creating new opportunities for connectivity.

This year, the CBU Media Hall of Fame will induct two outstanding Caribbean figures: the late journalist Mr. Rickey Singh and the late media and communications academic Professor Aggrey Brown. Their careers remind us that Caribbean media has always been shaped by courage, intellect, public service, cultural consciousness and a deep commitment to the people of this region.

Their induction will take place during the Opening Ceremony, with extended presentations on their life, work and impact during the Conference Day. Mr. Singh’s presentation will be delivered by Caribbean journalist and media trainer Mr. Wesley Gibbings, while Professor Brown’s presentation will be delivered by Dr. Patrick Prendergast, Director of the Caribbean School of Media and Communication at The University of the West Indies.

The 57th CBU Annual General Assembly will therefore be more than a meeting. It will be a regional conversation about the future of media, the future of technology, and the future of Caribbean storytelling all while grappling with the possibilities of Artificial Intelligence.

We invite our members, partners, sponsors, policymakers, media professionals and all those with an interest in communication, innovation and Caribbean development to be part of this important gathering.

Registration for the 57th CBU Annual General Assembly is now open, and delegates are encouraged to confirm their participation by visiting www.caribroadcastunion.org/aga57.

This year’s Assembly will be held from August 17 to 19, 2026, in Georgetown, Guyana, with accommodation available at Pegasus Suites, Georgetown.

As we prepare for this year’s Assembly, we look forward to robust discussion, practical collaboration, new partnerships, and a renewed commitment to ensuring that Caribbean media does not simply adapt to the age of AI, but helps shape it in the public interest.

See you in Georgetown!

The Caribbean Culture Fund (CCF) renewed its partnership with the Caribbean Broadcasting Union (CBU) for the Excellence in Media Coverage of Caribbean Arts and Culture category at this year’s 37th CBU Media Awards.

The award was first awarded in 2025 to recognise the vital role played by the region’s journalists to engage with and share Caribbean arts and culture to local and global audiences.

As Caribbean artists increasingly respond to issues such as migration, identity, social justice, community resilience and climate challenges, journalists help bring the public’s attention to artistic voices which might otherwise remain unheard outside their communities or national borders.

The award is open to media organisations operating across the Caribbean, and recognises reporting, criticism, features, and analysis on arts and culture in the Caribbean. Winners will be announced at the CBU Media Awards Gala in August 2026. The previous awards cycle received 48 entries from across the region.

CCF Executive Director Kellie Magnus said the partnership forms part of the Fund’s broader effort to amplify the work of Caribbean creatives.

“In the year since we launched these awards, the Caribbean has been hit by many challenges that reinforce how essential the arts are to reflect, protect, and strengthen our culture. We believe more than ever that journalism can help highlight the power of the arts and we are excited to see what is created” Magnus said.

The collaboration also reflects broader conversations taking place across the Caribbean about the importance of investing not only in artists, but in the wider systems that sustain cultural production, including media, criticism, documentation, and public discourse.

“Caribbean journalism tells our story, who we are, what we value, and where we’re going. Massy has been part of that story for over a century, and this partnership is our way of investing in the people who tell it best.”  said Dionne Ligoure, Vice President, Corporate Communications and Corporate Affairs at Massy Group.

CBU President, Mr. Anthony Greene, welcomed the partnership with Massy noting, “This kind of collaboration between a major regional private sector player like Massy,  in support of excellence in media content and creation is a strategic and positive step in supporting indigenous broadcast, print and digital media that are all so critical to the development of the region that both Massy and CBU members serve.”

Ligoure noted that the collaboration with the CBU represents a cornerstone of Massy’s broader strategic commitment to enhancing the regional media ecosystem. “As an organisation that has grown alongside the Caribbean for over 100 years, Massy is investing in the adoption of international best practices. Our goal is to encourage and recognise high-quality regional journalism, thereby spotlighting credible, impactful Caribbean storytelling across print, digital, radio and television,” she added.
