The Liberian media has been faced with repeated and chronic underdevelopment since the ushering of a free but sometimes intimidated press reign since the ascendancy of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in 2006 as President of Liberia. During this time and recognizing the capacity needs of the media, there was an upsurge of support to the Liberian media by many INGOs in order to boost morale and build capacity. While some of these partnerships have helped lifted the media to some extent, others amounted to naught but failure. In this entire situation, the Press Union of Liberia continues to be silent on the welfare of its members. This is really indeed an attack on the media and it is NOT from the government but the media itself.
