Journalists across the Caribbean are mourning the death of colleague George Alleyne who died suddenly at his home on Friday.
Alleyne, 61, who is Guyanese by birth, spent almost 40 years in the profession.
The following tribute was paid by the Association of Caribbean Media Workers, with input from Bert Wilkinson and Julius Gittens.
Ian George Alleyne started his journalistic career at the Government Information Service in the early 1980s. He then transferred to the state-owned Guyana Chronicle, the lone daily newspaper at the time.
Recognising his talent and sharp intellect, management placed him in a cadet training scheme from which he emerged with flying colours.
