One Caribbean Media Ltd (OCM) is a vertically integrated holding company based in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. The new company was founded in December 2005, following the merger of the Caribbean Communications Network (CCN) of Trinidad and Tobago, and the Nation Corporation of Barbados. The merger of the respective conglomerates was pursued after both companies held a sizable financial stake in each other for a number of years.

The company still currently holds a large financial stake in both the Jamaica Observer, Jamaica's daily newspaper, as well as Guyana's Stabroek News.

The current chairman is Faarees Hosein,[1] with the chief executive officer being Dawn Thomas,[2] and the Chief Financial Officer & Company Secretary being Karlene Ng Tang.[3] The Trinidad Guardian reported that OCM's revenue for 2024 was TT$301.17 million and total assets as TT$794.16 million.[4] The National Investment Fund (NIF),[5] a government own company, owns 23% shares in OCM.[6][7]
