A story in the Trinidad Newsday of October 24 quotes Attorney General, John Jeremie, as saying the proposal to license journalists would be "ridiculous" if it were in fact true and not an "urban myth".
I suppose having only weeks ago returned to the post he could not have been briefed on every single thing. But this is a good sign that at least in one CARICOM country the proposal offered by regional technocrats will not reach very far.
There has also been very supportive feedback from some leading Caribbean personalities.
Here's hoping this battle ends soon.
Thoughts on a wide range of subjects relevant to my work as a Caribbean journalist.
