Hilton
fetes media awardees
During
last Sunday’s Annual Media Party hosted by the Hilton
Trinidad & Conference Centre, awards were presented
to several media practitioners for their dedication and
commitment to fulfilling information needs.
The awards were sponsored through the hotel’s Kindness
in Donation and Service programme (Kids).
Kids is Hilton Caribbean’s way of helping non-profit
organisations devoted to children on the islands where Hilton
hotels and resorts are located.
Included among the award recipients were the Guardian’s
Michelle Loubon, Leah Sorias, and Rishi Ragoonath. Loubon’s
award was in the category Health & Environment reporting;
Ragoonath for sports photography; Sorias on the other hand
was presented a $5,000 scholarship dedicated to Rosa Parks.
Prior to the presentation of awards, members of the media
dined on food from four buffet stations with live cooking,
similar to what was on the menu for the hotel’s corporate
party. The difference was in how the dishes were named.
For example, there was the Anthony Wilson home-made goose
terrine with sauterne jelly; Peter Ray Blood red caviar
on smoked tuna filets roses on blinis; and the Andre Alexander
gazpacho southwest style with Vidalo onions.
