State Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister Senator Abka Fitz-Henley says a conversation about the welfare of media practitioners would be a fitting part of the legacy of veteran broadcaster Dervan Malcolm.
Malcolm Died on Thursday, August 27, following a period of illness.
Speaking at a candlelight vigil held in Malcolm’s honour yesterday, Senator Fitz-Henley said one of his final conversations with the veteran broadcaster centred on the welfare of people within the media fraternity.
He noted that media is a tough vocation and said Malcolm remained concerned about the circumstances of those working within the profession.
Senator Fitz-Henley said continuing the conversation about the welfare of media practitioners would be a credit to Malcolm’s legacy.
He also described Malcolm as one of the media’s finest sons and extended condolences on behalf of the Government to his family and the wider media fraternity.
