The Tribune

AFTER 10 years at The Tribune, news editor Paul Turnquest is leaving to take up the role of Director of Public Relations at Baha Mar. At a farewell from staff yesterday he recalled being taken on as a reporter by Mrs Eileen Dupuch Carron, the newspaper’s Publisher/Editor, with whom he is pictured.

Among tributes to Mr Turnquest, 31, was one from Elcott Coleby, Deputy Director of Bahamas Information Services. Praising him for his “contributions in upholding the integrity and mandate of the Fourth Estate in our ever evolving democracy” Mr Coleby said Mr Turnquest was “always fair and balanced in his reporting of the news and in the facilitation of opinions ... he not only respected and jealously guarded the public’s ‘right to know’ but to know both sides of the story.” Photo: Peter Ramsay/BIS
