The University of Liberia Department of Communication,  Press Union of Liberia in Partnership with the Volunteers for Sustainable Media Studies VOSIEDA with support from the United Nation  Democracy Fund UNDEF launched  the Press Union of Liberia “PUL Crimes Reporting” application to strengthen independent media and freedom of information. 

Accordingly,  the app will  allow Journalists and media workers  to report  attacks and brutalities  against  them across the Country. 

On Monday  May 1, PUL hosted  several Journalists  across  the Country at their headquarters in Monrovia to witness the launch and be trained as trainers to train others in applying  the App in their respective  communities.

Speaking at the  launch,  the PUL Vice President  Daniel  Nyankona encourages  Journalists to take advantage of the App and said Journalists  are mostly  targeted by politicians during  and after elections. 

” Elections  are around and Journalists are mostly  targeted by politicians,  this App is for you and helps a lot in knowing  the day to day violence against Journalists.  It’s  here forever. The only thing you need is to download it on google play store.

Whatever  violation you report on the app will immediately  be seen by the press Union of Liberia and the entire  Global  Journalists  community, and we are  ready to respond to you as fast as possible”, PUL Vice President stated. 

He added that Journalists  safety is a human right and must be respected and protected  as it’s guaranteed by local and international laws.
