(TCV) is a North American based entity that publishes The Caribbean Voice newspaper and website (www.caribvoice.org). The monthly newspaper focuses on the Caribbean Diaspora in North America and Europe. And one of its very strong appeal is its reservoir of information about Caribbeans in the Diaspora. But there are also other reasons for its popularity. Among them is the fact that this is a truly Caribbean paper that encompasses all Caribbean nationalities and ethnicities within its coverage. And it practices objective journalism with very little focus on advocacy. Thus it has no bias - national, ethnic or otherwise. Or rather, its bias is Caribbean. Perhaps the strongest appeal, however, is the practice of investigative journalism. From the very inception we have been in the forefront of highlighting wrongs in order to catalyze change. As the only Caribbean publication with this orientation, The Caribbean Voice has been able to grip readers who now see this paper as an avenue for redress. In fact we have been deluged with suggestions for investigative articles and we receive many calls by people who have been victimized and who feel that we can, at the least, publish their stories. Other focii of this paper include highlighting the achievements of Caribbean businesses and community organizations. In fact, The Caribbean Voice makes connections with organizations and institutions within the Diaspora on an ongoing basis. And we help to promote institutions that serve the various communities. The center pages carry a collage of community events and the community calendar lists happenings around the Caribbean world. Professionalism is the hallmark of The Caribbean Voice. Our staff comprise professionally trained journalists and photo-journalists, many of them with years of experience. Many of our columnists are highly regarded community leaders or Caribbean influentials of international stature. And our technocratic writers are well qualified to handle their columns. The Caribbean Voice is continually guided by feedback and, in fact, vigorously pursues the policy of obtaining feedback. We have an open door policy and we encourage our readers to express themselves on any and all issues. In the coming year we plan to have the newspaper distribute in Caribbean communities throughout North America as we move to make it the first truly North American Caribbean publication. The website is updated on a daily basis and accessed by readers from around the world. In fact it has reached as high 10,000 plus hits web a day. Currently the site also offers The Caribbean Voice Internet Radio which will soon be offering 24/7 programming. Also in the coming months we will be adding audio capabilities, as well as a web mall, an email chat groups and and a regular polling. The Caribbean Voice also plans to soo relaunch the Annual CARICOM Day Business Awards, Dinner & Expo in collaboration with the CARICOM Secreteriat in Georgetown, Guyana and the Caribbean Heritage Awards. ILook out for other activities in the future. Finally The Caribbean Voice, Inc, has the largest database of information on the Caribbean Diaspora. We are continually being sought out by academia, market researchers and other entities seeking information on the Diaspora. We welcome such inquiries but want to make it clear that such information can only be acquired for a fee as we can no longer provide this service for free. We believe that both this website and the newspaper are the only services of their kind that truly encompass the entire Caribbean world - all nationalities, ethnicities and cultures - without any bias or unterior motive. For us the only reward is the satisfaction of knowing that we can truly describe our entities (website and newspaper) as Caribbean and know that every Caribbean is able to identify and feel connected with these entities. We therefore seek your support so that, together, we can link the Caribbean world and inform Caribbeans everywhere about Caribbeans anywhere. Feel free to write a letter to the editor, suggest story ideas, send an article for publication, tell us about a charity we can support by publicizing, provide information about an event we can list in the calendar or contact us to become a part of the family. Let us know what is happening in your neck 'o the woods. Remember we do need writers/correspondents/opinion writers and contacts from every Caribbean community around the world. Send us your feedback and please do take out a subscription to the print edition so that we can be better able to serve even more Caribbeans. Help us police this site by informing us about broken images or links, misaligned texts, grammatical or spelling mistakes or whatever else may be perceived as problematic. And certainly tell us how we can better serve Caribbeans in the Diaspora.
