[1][additional citation(s) needed] Turks and Caicos-born Duncanson had previously worked for Bahamian publications the Nassau Tribune and the Bahamian Review Magazine before returning to the T&C Islands in 1981.
Arriving back, he saw the need for a magazine that would promote the unspoilt beauty of the Islands.
In July 1982, Duncanson released the first edition of the Turks and Caicos Weekly News and shelved his magazine to be re-established at a later date.
In 2007, the Turks and Caicos Weekly News celebrated its 25th anniversary and remains the "oldest, most reliable and most trustworthy newspaper in the TCI."
The Turks and Caicos Weekly News has published an online version since 2007.
