PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – The Media Association of Trinidad and Tobago (MATT) Wednesday said it is monitoring “with serious concern developments over the last 24 hours at the Trinidad Guardian newsroom that appears to be a major threat to press freedom”.

Media reports said that the newspaper has been under government pressure following a string of damning reports on alleged government wrong-doing.
