Broadcasters are being ignored
DEAR EDITOR,
I write once again about the failure of the National Awards Committee in recognizing broadcasters who have/had contributed significantly to broadcasting not only in the Republic, but the Caribbean as well.
I have time and time again written about the failure to honour Wordsworth Mc Andrew, broadcaster and folklorist, and Hugh Cholmondeley, who put Guyana on the broadcasting map, but without avail.
They have both passed, and now another stalwart in the field Terry Holder, has been called away. Terry was one of the pioneers of GBS – Action radio in October 1968 and played an important role in regional broadcasting when he served the Caribbean Broadcasting Union in Barbados.
Apart from broadcasting, Terry was an excellent Public Relations person and did an excellent job for the Guyana Cricket Board and served Rotary for more than 25 years. I think he deserves a posthumous award. Politicians and friends of politicians who contributed less than Terry Holder have been honoured.
