The following tribute was issued by the Barbados Association of Journalists and Media Workers on the passing of Harold Hoyte, Editor Emeritus of The Nation Publishing Co.
The Barbados Association of Journalists and Media Workers (BARJAM) has learned with regret and sadness of the passing of Harold Hoyte.
Harold’s death has left a gaping hole in the media fraternity. He was a colossus in the news information profession as a founder of the Nation Publishing Company Ltd, a mentor and coach to an array of journalists in this country.
His intellectual acumen and fearlessness as a professional media Goliath will remain etched in my mind, and I have no doubt, in the minds of us all.
The name Harold Hoyte is synonymous with excellence and integrity in the field of journalism.
On behalf of BARJAM, I express condolences to Harold’s family, those at the Nation, his colleagues and close friends, and pray for their solace in this time of grief. (PR)
