Dear Editor,
Congratulations, Prior Beharry, on your well-deserved election as the new President of the Media Association of Trinidad and Tobago (MATT)!
I’ve had the privilege of knowing you for many years, from the days when I served as CEO of Radio Jaagriti and later as Marketing Officer for the National Lotteries Control Board. Through all those experiences, one thing has always stood out: your unwavering commitment to journalistic professionalism and objectivity.
You have consistently demonstrated integrity, fairness, and a deep respect for the truth in everything you do—qualities that have earned you respect across the media landscape in Trinidad and Tobago. As the Editor-in-Chief of AZP News and a seasoned journalist who has covered critical stories with balance and courage, you’re stepping into this leadership role at a pivotal time for press freedom and media standards in our country.

I have no doubt that under your guidance, MATT will continue to advocate strongly for journalists, uphold the highest ethical standards, and champion the vital role of a free and independent press in our democracy.
Well done, Prior—this is a fantastic achievement, and the entire media community is better for having you at the helm.
Here’s to your successful tenure and continued excellence!

Warmest regards and sincere congratulations!
Dr Devant Maharaj
