She has championed an aspect of broadcasting that today seems almost passé- the producer.
She has initiated a number of popular current affair programmes some of which you may remember:  CUTLASS - a programme promoting agriculture; CARRIACOU CONNECTION; MAINLY FOR WOMEN; COMMUNITY FOCUS as well as IN A NUTSHELL, and ON THE MOVE - these two programs are still running today.
Mrs. Mason has also been credited for being among the first host of GBN’s popular Monday night programme - Beyond the Headlines.
She is a national treasure in Grenadian media who has featured prominently every era since independence.
The post independence era of Radio Grenada, the revolutionary years of Radio Free Grenada, and the post revolutionary years of the Grenada Broadcasting Corporation.
She has excelled in many roles – producer, announcer, Director of GIS, and supervisor of the radio division of GBC.
Mrs. Mason has had an exciting ride in a demanding career. Her versatility has transformed her into a senior television journalist at the Grenada Broadcasting Network; covering the big stories such as Hurricane Ivan, flooding and general elections.
Mrs. Mason is a beacon and an inspiration for young practitioners and tonight the Media Workers Association is happy to present her with an award for distinguished service.
