The Stabroek News was a privately owned newspaper published in Guyana. It took its name from Stabroek /ˈstæbruːk/, the former name of Georgetown, Guyana.
History
The Sabroek News was first published in November 1986, first as a weekly but it later changed to a daily print newspaper.[1] The entry of the paper into the mass media in Guyana brought a new openness to the media environment in the country.[2]
The paper was founded by David DeCaires, who died on November 1, 2008.[3] On Feb. 13, 2026, the paper announced it will cease. Isabelle and Brendan de Caires, the two main business shareholders, said mounting financial pressures and outstanding government debt led to the closure.[4]
