“As a young girl, I remember tuning in to primetime news and immediately recognising the voice of Owen James—one that inspired confidence, offered reassurance, and provided a sense of stability in an ever-changing economic climate. He was more than a journalist; he was a trusted voice who helped Jamaicans make sense of financial news with clarity and depth. His work shaped how we understand economic issues, and his absence will be deeply felt in the media landscape,” she said.
She said James was one of the last members of a generation of journalists who brought an undeniable authority to their craft—journalists who not only reported the news but shaped national understanding with their depth of knowledge and professionalism.
