Following reports of a shake-up of news room staff in the Guardian newsroom based on objections to front page stories in the Trinidad and Sunday Guardian by members of the Trinidad Guardian board the Media Association of Trinidad and Tobago has been reliably informed that several senior editors and executives of Guardian Media including the Managing Director Gabriel Faria and Media Sector head David Inglefield have tendered their resignation. Editor in Chief Judy Raymond is no longer in charge of the newsroom which is currently being run by Anthony Wilson who has refused to accept the designation of acting editor in chief. Investigative reporters Anika Gumbs and Denyse Renne have resigned as has Public affairs editor Dr Sheila Rampersad. The Media Association of T&T stands in solidarity with our colleagues in the media and the executives who have supported them and is calling for a full disclosure into the events leading into these resignations. Once again the MATT urges politicians and media owners to respect the right of press freedom which is enshrined in our Constitution and is a vital pillar of every functioning democracy
