ABS Grabs Two Journalists from Observer Media Group
Award-winning journalist Elesha George has taken on a new role as a senior news producer and reporter at ABS.
Originally from Dominica, she moved to Antigua and Barbuda years ago to join the Observer team but has since departed.
Known for her in-depth environmental reporting, George is expected to make a significant contribution to the ABS newsroom.
Additionally, she runs her own online publications, Island Press Box and Wadadli Unplugged.
According to her colleagues, George will be missed tremendously for her invaluable contributions and expertise.
George isn’t the only talent transitioning from the once-prominent Observer Media Group to ABS.
Samantha Simon, who previously managed the social media platform, has also secured a position at ABS as a news reporter and social media coordinator.
Recently, there has been a noticeable trend of senior journalists leaving the Observer.
