THE Board of Directors of the Guyana National Newspapers Limited (GNNL), chaired by Dr. Yog Mahadeo, has appointed Tajeram Mohabir as Editor-in-Chief, as part of a restructuring process to restore professionalism and raise the standards of reporting at the Guyana Chronicle.

Mohabir received formal training in journalism at the University of Guyana and is also the holder of a Master Degree in Business Administration from the University of Bedfordshire, UK.
An outstanding journalist with more than a dozen awards celebrating excellence in journalism, he served as News Editor at the Guyana Chronicle, under the Coalition Government, until his resignation in protest of the yellow journalism from the newspaper, following events after the March 2 Regional and General Elections to the eventual declaration of the results.
During his time as News Editor, he served as mentor to the team of young reporters at the Chronicle, many of whom went on to become award-winning journalists.
Following the change of administration, Mohabir was invited to return to the Guyana Chronicle and serve as acting Editor-in-Chief until the last board meeting where he was appointed substantively to the post, based on his performance.

The board at their last meeting had expressed satisfaction with the new direction of the Editorial Department and the return to professionalism in reporting at the Guyana Chronicle.
Former Editor-in-Chief, Nigel Williams, had left the Guyana Chronicle with the change of Government on August 2, 2020.
The board also appointed Finance Manager, Moshamie Ramotar, as General Manager. Ramotar was acting as General Manager for the past few months.
In the restructuring of the Editorial Department of the Guyana Chronicle, several vacant positions have been advertised including that of Chief Reporter and Managing Editor.
The restructuring is part of a wider plan to return professionalism and credibility to the newspaper.
