Twice the Guardians, Twice the Confusion

It seems like the Guardian newspaper is having an identity crisis. Two versions of the United Democratic Party’s paper have been produced—one by long-time editor Alfonso Noble and another by Moses ‘Shyne’ Barrow supporter Delroy Cutkelvin.

Both have different headlines and stories. Cutkelvin’s version looks like a Shyne brochure, while Noble’s version looks like the typical Guardian.

Cutkelvin’s version is 8 pages, mostly of pro-Shyne articles with the exception of only one article about the KHMHA Workers union. Noble’s version is 9 pages, which includes attacks on the Briceño Administration and ads. It also includes the paper’s information, such as the editor, publisher, and contact information.

Only Noble’s version contains the horoscope, which arguably is the most useful part.

Tracy Panton says she is the interim leader of the UDP following a convention where delegates voted to recall Moses “Shyne” Barrow. Meanwhile, Barrow says he remains leader of the UDP. Panton and her faction took control of the party’s HQ and organs in late October.

The story was updated at 1:18 p.m. local time to reflect that Noble’s updated version does include the horoscope.
