Political and government communication in Trinidad and Tobago
Lennox Grant, columnist and former editor of the Trinidad Guardian, writes about the Trinidad and Tobago Government’s communications habits, big spending, and “simmering PNM (the current leading political party) frustrations with the media” in his November 26, 2006 column. According to Grant, one of the country’s well-respected and foundation journalists:
“A lot had been poured into that media pot. From 2002, hardly any expense has been spared as the PNM’s not-really-hidden persuaders determined to take charge of the new government’s image.
The Government’s message, it was decided, had to be delivered by its own messengers and in their own proprietary ways. This called for the commissioning of a corps of advertisers to wage a cold war in the relative peace time between elections.”
