Residents of this island and surrounding island groups are isolated from the rest of the world by distance, time and, for some, by relatively primitive means of communication. Until recently, the only non-military, English-language daily news- paper serving this three million-square-mile section of the world was the Pacific Daily News, one of the 82 publications of the Rochester, New York-based Gannett Co., Inc. This study will trace the history of journalism on Guam, particularly the Pacific Daily News. It will show that the Navy established the daily Navy News during reconstruction efforts follow- ing World War II. That newspaper was sold in l950 to Guamanian civilian Joseph Flores, who sold the newspaper in 1969 to Hawaiian entrepreneur Chinn Ho and his partner. The following year, they sold the newspaper now called the Pacific Daily News, along with their other holdings, to Gannett. Jacqueline Korona Teare This study will also examine the role of the Pacific Daily Ngw§_in its unique community and attempt to assess how the newspaper might better serve its multi-lingual and multi-cultural readership in Guam and throughout Micronesia.

LAMORENA V Government of Guam DIRECTOR A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Hafa Adai! I am pleased to present to you the “2008 Guam Statistical Yearbook.” This yearbook presents current and historical trends statistics on the social, economic and the environmental structure of Guam’s economy. Sound information forecasting and understanding the strength and direction of Guam’s economy depend heavily on economic and demographic statistics. As Guam’s economy continues to grow, coupled with the anticipated military buildup and the influx of citizens from the Freely Associated States, it is evident construction and infrastructure development will escalate. Additionally, demands for health care, education, and social services will increase. The Guam Statistical Yearbook serves as a very important instrument in providing useful information needed to support economic diversification and prosperity for our people. This report prepares our government, business and civic leaders with the components needed to efficiently develop direct and long term goals to deal with our island’s needs and boost investment opportunities to local and potential businesses. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many Government of Guam agencies, businesses, and countless others for their contribution in making available critical information for public use.

  • Troy Torres - Citizen of Guam
    Troy Torres - Citizen of Guam Responding to media request for reply to Ray Tenorio For immediate release, September 18, 2018 (Yigo, Guam) The fact that Ray Tenorio is blaming me for the criminal charges filed against him by the Attorney General makes me question whether he is actually mentally competent and fit to hold his current position as lieutenant governor of Guam. At this point I’m not sure if we, as a community, should invoke 10 GCA § 82202 or 3 GCA § 1121. I was not in Tumon nor anywhere near the Block Party on the night that Ray Tenorio was drunk, repeatedly grabbing a police officer’s gun and pointing a loaded weapon at law enforcement officers. I was not there when he committed reckless conduct. I was not there when he first lied about it publicly and blamed the officer. I was not there when he then changed his story and apologized over and over and over for his actions. I was, however, at the Dededo precinct several days later where I proudly filed a police report based on his actions as is my right as a citizen of this island. So if Ray Tenorio is blaming me for the criminal charges filed against him then he is wrong. That is his own fault. If he is blaming me for making sure his reckless and shocking actions did not get swept under the rug well, then, guilty as charged. I filed that report to make sure the corruption of this Administration did not continue to permeate through the darkness and that it would be brought to light.
