What Is The Guyana Brief?
The Guyana Brief is Guyana’s premier satirical news commentary platform. Every day, we read Guyana’s major newspapers — Guyana Chronicle, Kaieteur News, Guyana Times, and Demerara Waves — so you don’t have to.
We distill the news into a 5-6 minute read that’s informative, entertaining, and occasionally absurd. Because sometimes, the only way to make sense of the news is to laugh at it.
Note: Stabroek News, which we covered for years, printed its final edition on March 15, 2026. We honour their nearly four decades of independent journalism.
Our Format
We present Guyana’s news through distinct voices:
📰 The Daily Brief (Critical View)
Our flagship feature covers 8-12 stories from across the newspapers with sharp, satirical commentary. We ask the questions everyone’s thinking but nobody’s saying out loud.
👴 Uncle Ramesh (Diaspora View)
Our fictional commentator from Toronto offers the pro-government diaspora perspective. Uncle Ramesh reads the same newspapers and sees… something entirely different. Together, the Brief and Uncle Ramesh give you both sides of every story.
🌴 Caribbean Brief
Regional news from Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, and the wider CARICOM neighbourhood — same satirical voice, wider geography.
🎙️ YouTube Scripts
HeyGen-ready scripts for our video content — 60-second quick brief and 4-minute full episode.

What We Are (And Are Not)
We are: Satirical commentary. Think of us as The Onion for Guyana. We read real news from real newspapers and add humour, context, and the occasional raised eyebrow.
We are not: A news organisation. We do not break stories, conduct interviews, or employ journalists. We read what the papers report and respond to it with commentary.
Our sources: Guyana Chronicle, Kaieteur News, Guyana Times, Demerara Waves.
All characters (Uncle Ramesh, Bam-Bam Sally, DJ Roadblock, etc.) are fictional. All satire targets policies and public events — not private individuals.
Legal
The Guyana Brief publishes satirical commentary protected under freedom of expression. We do not publish defamatory content, false statements of fact presented as true, or content targeting private individuals.
We do not engage in cyberbullying, defamation, or harassment of individuals.
