Richès Karayib

The integration of Richès Karayib into the Caribbean Broadcasting Union (CBU) marks a new stage in the development of Caribbean media. This membership formalizes Richès Karayib’s regional roots and reinforces its determination to actively contribute to the structuring of the Caribbean media landscape.

The Caribbean Broadcasting Union, a pillar of the Caribbean media landscape

The Caribbean Broadcasting Union is the regional organization that federates the Caribbean media, covering radio, television, print and digital platforms.

Every year, the Caribbean Broadcasting Union organizes the CBU Media Awards. These awards recognize the most outstanding productions in radio, television, print and digital. These awards are a major event for Caribbean media professionals, helping to raise standards of journalistic and editorial quality in the region. By becoming a member of the Caribbean Broadcasting Union, Richès Karayib joins a structured and recognized network at the heart of regional media dynamics.

A strategic step for Richès Karayib

Since its creation, Richès Karayib has been promoting culture, heritage, tourism and the women and men who shape the Caribbean’s attractiveness and influence. Membership of the Caribbean Broadcasting Union consolidates this trajectory by opening up new prospects:

  • – publishing cooperation on a regional scale
  • – increased circulation of content
  • – professional exchanges between member media
  • – enhanced visibility with institutional and economic players

Joining the Caribbean Broadcasting Union also enables Richès Karayib to place its productions within a demanding regional framework, where content quality, journalistic rigor and editorial impact are decisive.

Building a structured Caribbean media space

The Caribbean is rich in talent, culture and initiative. However, content produced in one territory is still not widely distributed to other islands and countries in the region. One of the major challenges of the Caribbean Broadcasting Union is precisely to promote this circulation and encourage regional collaboration.

By joining the Caribbean Broadcasting Union, Richès Karayib is affirming its desire to play an active part in this dynamic. This is not just institutional recognition, but a commitment: to contribute to a more connected, visible and structured Caribbean media.

This approach is in line with Richès Karayib’s mission to promote the region’s talents, initiatives and heritage, while encouraging synergies between regions.

Setting course for the CBU Media Awards

As part of this membership, Richès Karayib will take part in the 37th CBU Media Awards organized by the Caribbean Broadcasting Union. Richès Karayib’s participation is in line with the company’s commitment to professionalization and regional outreach.

Beyond the competition, the CBU Media Awards represent a space for Caribbean media to meet, exchange ideas and gain visibility. For RK, it’s a further opportunity to promote a committed editorial voice in the service of the Caribbean.

Emancipation Day: Why Does August 1 Remain a Living Memory?

In Barbados, two bronze arms rise up, their wrists still encircled by broken chains. Sculptor Karl Broodhagen imbued this figure with a power that is immediately apparent: that of a body that now refuses enslavement. Often referred to as the Bussa statue, the work has become one of the most visible symbols of emancipation on the island. As August 1 approaches, this image serves as a reminder that Emancipation Day is more than just a holiday. In several former British colonies in the Caribbean, the date provides an opportunity for reflection. It invites us to consider the struggles, the suffering, and the freedoms won, but also what today’s societies choose to pass on. Emancipation Day: What Does August 1 Actually Commemorate? The Slavery Abolition Act was passed by the British Parliament in 1833 and took effect on August 1, 1834. However, that date did not mark complete freedom for everyone.

In Grenada, art doesn’t just occupy the seabed—it transforms along with it. Further on, carnival figures seem to be moving through the water.

Now located within the Molinere-Beauséjour Marine Protected Area, the site lies at a depth of between five and eight meters. It can therefore be viewed while scuba diving, snorkeling, or from a glass-bottom boat. Nearly twenty years later, the artist sums up the project’s origins in a single sentence: “Grenada is the seed that started it all.” A museum that the sea is constantly
