Liberia: Association of Liberian Journalists in America Back On Track

New Castle — Efforts aimed at reviving the dormant Association of Liberian Journalists in the Americas (ALJA) have begun in earnest with the selection of an Interim Leadership. The Interim Leadership headed by Mr. Moses D. Sandy as Acting Chairman, was constituted on Sunday, November 23, 2014 during a teleconference convened by ALJA members. Mr. Sandy is former Editor-in-Chief of the Liberia Broadcasting System (LBS).

Before the dormancy of the organization, Acting Chairman served as ALJA Assistant Secretary General. He was elected at the 2004 ALJA convention that ushered in the Nyekeh Forkpa Administration. The convention was held in Providence, Rhode Island. The Association was founded in 1998 in Washington, D.C. by a group of US based Liberian journalists as an umbrella organization for Liberian journalists in the Americas.
