- Peter Webley, publisher of the South Florida monthly newspaper, Caribbean Today, has been selected as a recipient of the Caribbean Peer Awards Life Time Achievement Award for 2006. Webley was among four awardees, all Caribbean nationals, who were honored for their sterling contribution to the growth and ongoing development of Caribbean media in the area of sales, marketing and advertising. The other awardees include: Ken Gordon, of Trinidad and Tobago; and Lester Spaulding and Neville Blythe, both well-known Jamaican media personnel. Described as one of the pioneers of Caribbean news publishing in South Florida, Webley launched the Caribbean monthly newspaper in Dec. 1989. As the Caribbean diaspora began to grow in the early 1980s in this region, Webley told JIS News that he saw a need for greater and better news coverage of the Caribbean region and of the nationals here in Florida.

- 144 p., This book is a milestone achievement in the documentation of the newspapers of the British Caribbean islands, a field that, until now, has been neglected by many scholars. The existing and bygone papers, and several commonly unknown publications, listed in this work provide a wealth of information about these obscure times. No other work, before this one, has been as extensive in its documentation and coverage of the individual papers. Of special assistance is the index, which completes the work. This bibliography seeks to determine the extent of newspaper publications in the British Caribbean colonies and to organize it into a useful form. In the past, researchers have either ignored or given brief and scattered coverage to this information, but with Colonial British Caribbean Newspapers, Pactor hopes to make this information available to scholars. His book lists information about the known newspapers of the British Colonial Caribbean, arranged alphabetically by colony and chronologically within each colony. Dates of publications and names of editors, publishers, and owners are given, if known. The newspapers are also listed in an index. It is hoped that a work of this sort may make access to these newspapers easier for scholarly research and call attention to the need to find and preserve these fragile resources. Historians, sociologists, and mass communication scholars will be especially appreciative of Pactor's efforts.
