A Daughter Who Made Good on Dad's Journalism Bargain

Columbia University alum Liz Carron is the Bahamas Press Club's first Lifetime Achievement honoree.

At the recent, inaugural Bahamas Press Club Awards, the Lifetime Achievement citation went to Eileen “Liz” Carron (pictured), 85-year-old editor and publisher of daily newspaper The Tribune. She’s been at the helm of the publication since 1972, when it was passed down to her by her late father Sir Etienne Dupuch. (His father, Leon, founded the paper in 1903.)

Of note from a New York perspective is the fact that in addition to being the first Bahamian to earn a Master’s in Journalism from Columbia University, Carron attended the school as part of a deal made with dad.
