People’s Pulse publishes final issue

In political news, today’s issue of the “People’s Pulse” can be considered a collector’s item. No, not because it won the Pulitzer Prize for journalism… rather because after this week the official newspaper of the United Democratic Party, like its predecessor the “Beacon,” will be no more. In a press release issued today the U.D.P. did not say what will replace the weekly newspaper, but allowed only that as part of its restructuring exercise the party will “establish new vehicles for reaching out to Belizeans”. As for the old vehicle’s veteran driver, rumor is that Ann-Marie Williams may once again return to the airwaves.
