Trinidad and Tobago Express

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Trinidad and Tobago Express (and the Sunday Express) is one of three daily newspapers in Trinidad and Tobago. The Express is published by the Caribbean Communications Network (CCN) and is headquartered on Independence Square, Port of Spain. The newspaper commenced operations on June 6, 1967. The website for the Trinidad and Tobago Express was first registered in 1997 and launched subsequently very soon thereafter.

With a considerable diaspora spread across the globe, the Trinidad and Tobago Express news website, then known as the Internet Express grew quickly into one of the top visited websites about Trinidad and Tobago. Given the large audience of the website with up to 10,000 hits per-day it has become one of the online centrepieces of Caribbean Communications Network (CCN). In 2002 newscasts of the television channel CCN TV6, and it's televised daily polls were carried out using an integrated website of the Trinidad and Tobago Express. That same year the joint-staff of the Trinidad and Tobago website also created an e-commerce venture online called the Express MarketPlace which was later renamed CaribBuy in 2003. In order to remain focused, the CCN New Ventures was created within CCN to take control of the various websites of the Caribbean Communications Network.

The Express newspaper is the second oldest of the daily Trinidad and Tobago newspapers.
