Guyana Chronicle Editor-In-Chief, Nigel Williams, was yesterday suspended for the apparent doctoring
of a photograph with President David Granger in the National Park.
The original photograph was photoshopped to take out two Afro-Guyanese children and replace them with pictures of two Amerindian children.
Williams is suspended for one week on a decision taken by the Board of Directors of the company.
A source indicated that a meeting was held on Tuesday with the Board of Directors and they all decided to suspend him.
His suspension was confirmed yesterday by Chairman of the GNNL Board, Jean La Rose. La Rose refused to give any further deals about suspension, stating that “it is an internal matter”.
The newspaper had published an apology stating that the intention was to show the President at two different scenes socializing with Guyanese.
Last year, the Board fired the newspaper’s General Manager Michael Gordon and Editor-in-Chief Mark Ramoutar with immediate effect, citing weak administration and poor circulation numbers.
