This year’s event, sponsored by Internews Liberia, also provided additional opportunity for students in the high schools to debate issues surrounding electoral reform. The Electoral Reform Debate, which attracted public attention, provided cogent information on both arguments as part of Youth Media Action’s ongoing campaigns with support from Internews Liberia for Electoral Reform in Liberia. She challenged the winner and other participants to use the three smartphones provided to promote Electoral Reform activities on their campuses and publish their high school stories. For his part, the Executive Director of Youth Media Action, Varmah Kamara congratulated the winner of the National Press Club Exhibition and Electoral Reform Debate. He noted that despite the challenges, Youth Media Acton will remain engaged with its grassroots programs to ensure a strong democratic space and a vibrant media.
