Earl Bousquet, a well-respected Caribbean journalist will now be writing a daily column for the Guyana Chronicle on a variety of subjects.

He believes that the world needs to know Guyana from a Caribbean and international perspective.

“Politics, economics, oil and gold, race, culture and religion, things we see every day, but through different eyes,” Bousquet shared.

He has been a journalist since 1976. Serving in the Caribbean, he closely followed and covered events based in Guyana from childhood and lived and worked in Guyana from 1993 to 1999.

He was awarded the Saint Lucia Medal of Honour (GOLD) by the Government of Saint Lucia in 2016 for his contribution to journalism through four decades as a veteran writer, analyst and contributor to several Caribbean media houses.

He also contributed to the training and organising of media workers across the Caribbean, including Grenada, Guyana, Haiti and Jamaica. He started the column entitled ‘Chronicles of a Chronic Caribbean Chronicler’ in 2015 and will be launching the ‘Chronicles of a Chronic Caribbean Chronicler- Guyana Edition’ this Sunday.
