“We at The Nation are very excited about this year’s Crop Over coverage,” said Executive Editor Carol Martindale.
‘”We are going to be doing things a lot differently this year with our newspapers as well as our social media platforms. We will have more videos and features dedicated to Crop Over and we are going to be reliving Crop Over of old, bringing to life some of those who made a significant contribution to the festival.
