Liberia: Reporter Newspaper Violates Media Ethics

The Press Union of Liberia (PUL) has taken offence with The Reporter Newspaper for failing to retract an article in its April 14 edition, in which it made difficult and unconfirmed allegations against the Guinean Ambassador to Liberia, El Hadj Abdoulaye Dore.

At the hearing held on April 15, the PUL ruled that the issues reported in an article written by Reporter Mike Jabateh in the April 14 edition did not present verified facts, cited faceless sources, did not get the side of Ambassador Dore and effectively brought his reputation into disrepute; thereby violating various sections of the PUL code of ethics and conduct.
