Rodney Sieh
By Joseph Tumbey
Veteran Liberia Journalist, Rodney Sieh has characterized the Liberia media of being more prostitutional than ethical.
Speaking with a group of journalists at the Center for Media Studies & Peace Building ( CEMESP), a journalism training workshop on using the Freedom of Information (FOI) Law to enhance Access To Information (ATI) on local government issues and expenditures, he noted that the profession has become prostituted as a new generation of Journalists are recruited by who knows who, causing serious ethical and media laws abuse.
“Journalists these days openly support politicians and their institutions both on the platforms and social media pages.
“Some Journalists dress indecently, if you see them they look like ordinary street passersby,” Rodney disclosed.
Meanwhile, Sieh stated that many people have become journalists through the use of Facebook social media Application.
However, he encourages media practitioners to maintain their standard operating procedures (SOP) at all times to protect the image of the Liberian media.
