2016 Put The News Cycle On Steroids
posted (December 30, 2016)
And, as much as New Year's resolutions are a tradition, so is the last item on tonight's news. It's the annual montage of some of the lasting images that made news in 2016.

It was the year of Pastor Lu and Danny Mason, The Auditor General, Hurricane Earl, Julius Espat, The Vega family, and, of course, the mighty Belize National Teachers Union. Sadly, 2016 was also a year where we saw the number of murders shoot up - and we reported on some very beastly crimes. Video editor Lance Howard put these shots together of the good, the bad, the ugly, the inspiring, and the just plain unforgettable:…

Indeed, 2016 was the most news-making year we've seen in a decade or so, and that's owing to the Pastor Lu beheading, followed by the corruption-fuelled political upheaval, which led to the longest teacher's strike in memory - and, ultimately, major reform concessions by the Barrow Administration. You can see our recap of all the stories that made news starting tomorrow night at 6:00.

We expect 2017 may provide more of the same, and whatever happens, you can be sure that 7News will be on the frontlines to get the news for you.

It's been our pleasure serving you in 2016, and from all of us here at 7News, have a happy new year - and join me back here on Tuesday, January 3rd., 2017.
