 Gillian Glean Walker: The Witness and his Testmony, Alister Hughes, Grenada Newsletter
In spite of their commitment to being factual, Grenada's political environment of the Gairy and PRG regimes led to several reports that were widely rumoured but difficult to confirm.
Written assurance from Grenada's Commissioner of Police informed the Newsletter that they were "not at present caught by the Newspaper (Amendment) Act." There is reason to conclude that this decision by Gairy's administration reflected their lack of knowledge of the extent of the Newsletter's readership and its impact, even after 2 years of publication.
Grenada Newsletter is a record of 21 years of intense journalism, documenting the traumatic birth of the Grenadian nation, with breaking news and international interest far beyond expectation based on Grenada's size and population.
