## Overview

Debra Wanser has been the editor of the Trinidad and Tobago Sunday Guardian since 2007, daily news editor since 2001, and has been a Guardian Media employee since 1993.[1] Kaymar Jordan is the current managing editor of Guardian Media Limited; she started in 2022.[2]

## Format

[edit]

It began as a broadsheet but in November 2002 changed to tabloid format, known as the "G-sized Guardian". In June 2008, the paper changed to a smaller-size tabloid.[3] On 11 September 2017, the company launched a new layout.

## History

[edit]

Its first edition was published by the Trinidad Publishing Co. on Sunday 2 September 1917. In 1955, according to an advertisement in Editor & Publisher, the Trinidad Publishing Co. operated the Guardian, the Sunday Guardian, and the Evening News.[4]

On 2 September 2017, the Trinidad and Tobago Guardian celebrated its 100th anniversary.

## Staff

[edit]

Journalists have included the writer Seepersad Naipaul. A book published by Peepal Tree Press, Seepersad Naipaul, Amazing Scenes: Selected Journalism 1928–1953 covers 25 years of Naipaul's columns and articles in the Guardian. Naipaul was initially charged with reporting on the lives of the "East Indians". The articles often reflect on topical issues of the day but are notable for their humour.[5]
