Veteran Journalist, Rickey Singh
Kaieteur News – Veteran journalist Rickey Singh died on Saturday at his home in Barbados. In a statement, the Guyana Press Association (GPA) said Singh, a Guyana-born journalist published his first story in 1957 at the Guiana Graphic. He moved swiftly from covering general stories and beats to political reporting covering various issues in Guyana and the Caribbean.
Singh was also a columnist who wrote on politics and social issues in the region.
“Rickey Singh contributed to several wire services and publications in the region, including Guyana, Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, the BBC Caribbean Report and Caribbean News Agency (CANA) as well as services in North America and Britain,” the GPA said.
Singh was a recipient of an Honorary Doctorate from the University of the West Indies (UWI) for his contributions as a journalist in regional affairs. In 2023, Singh was recognised with a Lifetime Achievement Award in Guyana.
He was also a founder and first President of the now defunct Caribbean Association of Media Workers (CAMWORK).
“The Guyana Press Association extends condolences to the family, friends and regional media colleagues of journalist and columnist Rickey Singh. Singh transitioned at his home in Barbados on Saturday.”
