3 recommendations for working with journalists in the Caribbean:

Geo-targeting is crucial: understand the region and media you are pitching and build stories that appeal to them
When writing a press release for the Caribbean region, use British English to stand out
Caribbean media mostly release weekly editions, so send your release at the latest by Monday
