About Section for WIC News
WIC News is a leading Caribbean-focused news platform delivering fast, credible, and impactful coverage to audiences across the region and around the world. Founded on 21 February 2017 by Dragan Perkanovic, the company is headquartered at 13 Rockwell Avenue, Kingsweston, Bristol, United Kingdom, BS11 0UF.
From its earliest days, WIC News has been committed to telling the Caribbean story with depth and accuracy, capturing not just the headlines, but the human stories, the context, and the voices that define them.
Mission
Our mission is to inform, connect, and empower Caribbean communities worldwide by delivering fact-based, timely, and inclusive news coverage.
Vision
We aspire to be the most trusted and impactful Caribbean news source globally, fostering dialogue and understanding across cultures.
Why WIC News Stands Out
WIC News rose to prominence in 2017 through its intense, real-time coverage of Hurricane Maria, becoming a trusted lifeline for information during one of the Caribbean's most devastating storms. The platform is also recognised as one of the few Caribbean news outlets to provide live event coverage, bringing timely updates and on-the-ground perspectives to its readers.
What We Do
From breaking news and investigative reports to in-depth features and real-time event coverage, WIC News serves as the Caribbean's window to the world and the world's window to the Caribbean. We blend local insight with global awareness, ensuring that every reader, whether in the region or abroad, gets the full picture.
Our Editorial Ethics
We uphold the principles of fairness, accuracy, impartiality, and accountability in journalism. All stories go through strict fact-checking processes, and we promptly issue corrections when necessary. We welcome feedback and strive to represent diverse perspectives in our reporting.
Audience & Accessibility
WIC News is designed for readers in the Caribbean and the global diaspora, as well as anyone interested in the region's people, culture, and affairs. We are committed to accessibility by ensuring that our content is user-friendly and available across devices.
Advertising & Sponsorship
We display advertising and may feature sponsored content, all of which is clearly marked. Editorial decisions remain independent of commercial influence.
Legal & Privacy Commitments
We protect our readers' personal information in compliance with applicable data protection laws. For full details, refer to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, which outline how we handle data, website usage, and intellectual property.
