The Problem We Set Out to Solve
If you've ever tried to follow news across the Caribbean, you know the frustration. Thirty-plus territories. Dozens of news sites. Different formats, different quality, different publishing schedules. To stay informed, you're left hopping between websites, piecing together fragments of information in whatever time you can spare.
For the diaspora—the millions of us in London, New York, Toronto, and beyond—it's even harder. The distance makes context harder to find. The time zones make keeping up feel like a second job. And the news that does reach you often arrives stripped of the nuance that makes it meaningful.
Caribbean360 was built to fix that.
Where We Started
Caribbean360 launched in 2005, born from work consulting for the Caribbean Media Corporation on digitising their news wire operations. That project revealed just how fragmented regional media infrastructure really was—and how underserved Caribbean readers were, both at home and abroad.
At the same time, major international players like the BBC World Service were signalling restructuring and pullbacks from regional coverage. The writing was on the wall: if Caribbean readers wanted comprehensive, accessible coverage of their own region, someone would need to build it.
So we did.
By the early 2010s, Caribbean360 had grown to 600,000 monthly pageviews, 45,000 email subscribers, and a social following of over 130,000. For many readers across the region and the diaspora, it became the daily habit—the one place to get the full picture.
The Pause
In 2016, Caribbean360 went quiet. A career change and relocation abroad meant the founder could no longer give the platform the attention it needed to thrive. Rather than let it decline slowly, we closed the doors.
The audience moved on. The social accounts went dormant. But the problem we'd set out to solve didn't go away—if anything, it got worse.
Why We're Back
In August 2025, Digicel announced it was shutting down Loop News, the region's largest digital news operation. Overnight, millions of Caribbean readers—at home and abroad—lost their primary news source.
We'd seen this before. The same fragmentation. The same void. The same readers forced back to the drawing board, jumping between a dozen local sites trying to piece together what's happening across the region.
But something else had changed in the nine years since 2016: the technology.
After nearly a decade working in strategy and innovation—including the last several years focused on AI capabilities for media companies—it became clear that a new kind of news platform was now possible. Not another traditional newsroom. Not a simple aggregator. Something different: an AI-native intelligence platform with human editorial judgment at its core.
Caribbean360 relaunches in 2026 as exactly that.
What's Different Now
AI-assisted, human-edited. We use artificial intelligence to monitor sources across the region, compile information, and draft content into our signature Six-Card format. But every article is reviewed and approved by experienced editors before publication. The technology handles scale; humans ensure quality, accuracy, and context.
Intelligence briefings, not headline churn. We're not trying to be first with breaking news. We're focused on helping you understand what's happening and why it matters—quickly, clearly, and with the regional context that other sources miss.
Built for how you actually consume news. Mobile-first. Designed for the commute, the lunch break, the ten minutes before bed. Our Six-Card format—The Gist, The Pulse, What Happened, The Impact, Perspectives, and the C360 View—gives you the full picture in a structure you can navigate in minutes.
Verification you can trust. Every article carries a TruthScore rating based on source quality, factual corroboration, and editorial review. You'll always know how well-sourced a story is before you read it.
Who We Are
Caribbean360 is led by a team with roots across the Caribbean and deep experience in both regional journalism and international media.
Our editorial leadership brings decades of experience from newsrooms including national Caribbean dailies and major UK publications. Our commitment: journalism that meets international standards while understanding Caribbean realities from the inside.
We're diaspora ourselves. We grew up in the Caribbean, built careers abroad, and never stopped needing a better way to stay connected to home. Caribbean360 exists because we needed it too.
Our Commitment
Editorial independence. Caribbean360 is not aligned with any political party, government, or commercial interest in any Caribbean territory. Our coverage is guided by editorial judgment, not external pressure.
Accuracy over speed. We'd rather be right than first. Our TruthScore system and editorial review process exist to ensure you can trust what you read.
Serving the whole region. From Belize to Barbados, Jamaica to Guyana, the OECS to the diaspora communities in London, New York, and Toronto—we cover the Caribbean as a region, not a collection of isolated islands.
The Vision
Caribbean360 is more than a news site. We're building a Caribbean data layer—a single intelligence platform that serves individual readers today and can power enterprise applications tomorrow.
For now, that means giving you the clearest, most trustworthy daily briefing on Caribbean affairs available anywhere. Longer term, it means creating infrastructure that makes Caribbean information more accessible, more useful, and more valuable for everyone who needs it.
The region deserves better than fragmented coverage and information gaps. We're here to close them.
