THE Media Association of Trinidad and Tobago (MATT) elected a new executive on January 10, but celebrations over a decisive victory were overshadowed by deep concern over the impending closure of Newsday newspaper.
The team led by incoming president Prior Beharry, editor-in-chief of APZ News, swept all seven positions. Voting took place in Port of Spain, San Fernando and Tobago. Campaigning under the theme “Stronger MATT,” Beharry’s slate prevailed in what he later described as a “short and entertaining” campaign.
Beharry succeeds Dale Enoch, head of news at Radio 195.5 FM, who led an interim executive initially appointed for three months in 2023. That mandate ultimately extended to more than two years after no elections were held during that time.
