The Jamaica Observer has welcomed back the steady, sharp Julian Richardson as their online content manager; the experienced Dashan Hendricks has been appointed business editor; while ace writer Andrew Laidley has come on board as senior business reporter. Earlier this year, former Advertising Manager Natalie Chin, a veritable dynamo, was appointed deputy managing director. It is great to see our media houses focusing on strengthening their teams — no wonder Jamaica has been in the top ten countries for press freedom for many years.
