I WISH to congratulate Mr. Shane Hubbard on being awarded for his documentary, ‘The Global Water Partnership’. This competition was open to the media through G.W.I. However, winning the documentary award was not a one-man show. The piece was the result of team spirit. In fact, it’s a CNS 6 Production. The news articles on the story downplayed the role of CNS 6 in the victory. Although I must say Stabroek News had it right in the first instance.
Considering that Mr. Hubbard was a trainee cameraman/editor for two years at CNS 6, and the production was a completed piece done on the job, use of our facilities, time, footage, and guided by our Editor-in-Charge, I do believe that CNS 6 deserves to be applauded.
Furthermore, CNS 6 was not invited to cover nor attend the award ceremony.
I do believe that Mr. Hubbard’s victory cannot be separated from being a CNS victory because it is the result of team work.
We at CNS 6 are all proud of Mr. Hubbard’s victory, and I hope in future endeavours, Mr. Hubbard will be happy to give credit where it’s due.
