History
[
edit
]
Turks and Caicos-born Duncanson had previously worked for
Bahamian
publications the
Nassau Tribune
and the
Bahamian Review Magazine
before returning to the T&C Islands in 1981. Arriving back, he saw the need for a magazine that would promote the unspoilt beauty of the Islands. He decided to set up the Turks and Caicos Current magazine, the first national publication of its kind in the Turks and Caicos. However, within a year Duncanson was confronted with a number of major
news
stories and realised that the Islands had an even greater need for a news publication.
In July 1982, Duncanson released the first edition of the Turks and Caicos Weekly News and shelved his magazine to be re-established at a later date. In 2007, the Turks and Caicos Weekly News celebrated its 25th
anniversary
and remains the "oldest, most reliable and most trustworthy newspaper in the TCI."
The
Turks and Caicos Weekly News
has published an
online version
since August 2007.
