Chairman of the Barbados Broadcasting Authority, Dr the Honourable Allyson Leacock, has joined the voices expressing condolences on the passing of former Director of News and Current Affairs at the Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation, George Hall.

Describing Mr Hall as a media specialist and trusted editorial voice, Dr Leacock says she had the privilege of working alongside him during their years as Foreign Service Nationals at the United States Embassy, where he served as a Public Affairs Specialist.

Later, while serving as CBC’s General Manager, Dr Leacock invited Mr Hall to serve on an editorial panel as the corporation sought to strengthen its news product.
