Sagicor Financial champions Caribbean journalism that builds healthier, financially empowered communities

: From helping families understand critical health issues to guiding individuals toward better financial decisions, Caribbean journalism plays a powerful role in shaping informed and resilient communities. As such, Sagicor Financial Company Ltd. is proud to continue supporting such impact through its category sponsorship of the Caribbean Broadcasting Union’s (CBU) Media Awards.

As part of its annual corporate social responsibility commitment, the financial services entity sponsors two award categories – Health Education Journalism (print) and Financial Literacy Journalism (television) – recognising media practitioners whose reporting goes beyond informing, to truly empowering audiences with knowledge that supports better decision-making and long-term stability for themselves and their families.

Ingrid Card, Vice President, Communications and Brand Experience at Sagicor Financial, said the company is proud to continue the sponsorship for another year. “We are proud to continue supporting the outstanding work of media practitioners across the Caribbean. Each year, we are inspired by the depth, quality, and thoughtfulness of the submissions. The media plays a vital role in advancing public understanding of health education and financial literacy, and in doing so, contribute meaningfully to the empowerment and wellbeing of our region.” 

The impact of these awards is reflected in the calibre of work recognised each year. In 2025, the Financial Literacy Journalism (television) award was presented to Greater Belize Media (Channel 5) for its piece on Budgeting for Belizean Christmas Traditions, reported by Paul Lopez, with videography by Joel Wesbey – a compelling exploration of cultural spending and financial planning. The Health Education Journalism (print) award went to RJRGLEANER Communications Group (The Gleaner) in Jamaica for Disease Transfer Eliminated, written by Sashana Small, highlighting critical public health progress and awareness.

CBU President, Anthony Greene, welcomed Sagicor’s continued support of the Awards.

“It’s particularly pleasing to the CBU that a private sector entity is offering this kind of incentive that can only foster our media offering more, high quality development themed content. This type of partnership is precisely why the CBU’s Awards are so important to the Caribbean and to the audiences our media seek to serve.”

The 57th CBU Assembly and the 37th Media Awards Gala will be held in August 2026, bringing together media professionals from across the Dutch, English, French and Spanish-speaking Caribbean to honour excellence in media across print, digital, television and radio formats.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
