Ms Kiran Maharaj, President of the T&T Publishers and Broadcasters Association (TTPBA) issued a call to T&T’s media professionals to unite to guarantee the industry’s survival in the face of advancing technology (e.g. social media).  This was made during her feature address at the TTPBA’s 6^th Annual Dinner and Awards Ceremony for Media Excellence (see story “Unity the key to survival” by Sean Nero, Trinidad Guardian, 16 Nov 2009).

If you walk into any store, rum shop or office that has a radio playing, it seems you'll find a sticker that says that the Copyright Organisation of Trinidad and Tobago (COTT) was there.
