Jamaica lost a media legend who basically invented local broadcasting standards just after sports commentator Donald Oliver died. Alma Mock Yen perished at ninety-seven following a sickness, causing the island's Press Association to praise her massive impact on the industry. This trailblazer lectured at the UWI Mona campus and made history at Radio Jamaica as an early non-white hire. She created the radio drama Life With The Morgan-Henrys alongside Ranny Williams and even worked as a politician for the Jamaica Labour Party in the Harbour View Division.

Culture Minister Olivia Grange hyped up the deceased icon for being a classy public servant who actually taught English at Merl Grove High School at age fourteen. Andrew Holness, the prime minister, claimed she helped build the national mindset through sheer discipline. Juliet Holness gave props to her political work in St Andrew East Rural, while others recalled her moves with the Ivy Baxter dance crew.
