Ian was simply the consummate communicator. He has helped to guide and craft national speeches for the Offices of the Governor General, the Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition across political administrations. Boyne has had a long career with the JIS as he first joined the entity when it was known as the Agency for Public Information API in as feature writer and television broadcaster.

Political leaders past and present weighed in almost immediately. Many knew Boyne well from his work at the government information service. A giant in journalism who inspired, uplifted and mentored others to greatness.

He is forever etched in our memory. Condolence to his family, staff at JIS and colleagues in the media fraternity. Watched every Sunday. The stories gave me so much hope and belief. Fortunately I got the chance to tell him a few weeks ago the impact he had on my life.

Naturally, Boyne also had his critics, but the criticism came mostly in the form of humorous digs — in particular at his interviewing techniques:.

He even became a meme on here. Ian: A remarkable Christmas story. From Stable to Star-boy. Boyne himself never lost his sense of humour. I did an interview with Georgia Crawford today on Nationwideradio about how I remember Ian Boyne…I can't even recall what I said, but I'm going to fulfill the promise to him to spoof Religious Hard Talk…he deserves to keep giving that raucous laughter in heaven.

Profile, though it also evolved into a parody of itself, served the public good. It sold the most valuable commodity that a country such as ours needed. Hope in the face of adversity. Lester Spaulding , died on November 17, — Rodney Campbell humourously imagined Boyne interviewing Spaulding up in heaven:. One thing is clear: Ian Boyne will be missed, not only as a one-of-a-kind journalist, but also as a warm-hearted and empowering Jamaican.
