The Island Sun

Contributing writers and columnists included Sir Alan Cobham, Dr. Norwell Harrigan, Dr. Pearl Varlack, Godfrey deCastro, Dr. Pierre Encontre, McW.

During the 1966 Royal Visit, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II asked Carlos Downing why he had ventured into publishing the newspaper.

He identified two pillars of The Island Sun in publishing consultant Dr. Giorgio Migliavacca, and circulation and advertising manager Delseita "Peggy" Carney-Liburd.

News items and editorials from The Island Sun are frequently reprinted or referred to in the international media, including The Washington Post, CNN, PBS, BBC, and the British Daily Telegraph.

Also, Caribbean newspapers such as St. Croix Avis, and the Voice of St. Lucia carry reports from The Island Sun.
