Barbados tops the Caribbean Broadcasting Union (CBU) Media Awards, winning 15 awards at the 37th ceremony held in Georgetown, Guyana. The Barbados Today and Nation News reports say the winnings come across multiple local media organisations, placing Barbados ahead of other participating countries.
Nation News adds that Barbados also receives eight Special Mentions, helping it edge Jamaica, which it describes as a perennial powerhouse. While both outlets agree on the number of awards and Barbados’s overall standing, the coverage differs in emphasis: Barbados Today focuses on the regional top performance and the spread of awards among local media, while Nation News highlights Barbados’s comparative lead and the first-time “modern era” context.
