The Caribbean media landscape is mourning the loss of Asberth Williams, founder of the Asberth News Network (ANN), who passed away following a courageous battle with cancer. Family representatives confirmed his passing to iWitness News, marking the end of an era in independent journalism. Williams celebrated his 50th birthday just two months prior to his death, leaving behind a legacy of innovative news reporting. Williams launched ANN in November 2017, building upon his established reputation as a compelling media personality known for his distinctive social media commentary and grassroots street reporting. His collaborative work included production agreements with iWitness News, through which he developed his signature man-on-the-street segments that resonated with audiences across St. Vincent and the Grenadines. His contributions to digital media were formally recognized on multiple occasions when he received the Best Social Media Personality award in Searchlight newspaper’s Best of SVG people’s choice awards, cementing his status as a influential voice in the region’s media ecosystem.
