The Liberian Listener

editorliberianlistener.gmail.com

The Liberian Listener is a Pan African progressive institution, and is fair and balanced in its commentaries, editorials and news items; its lenses are simply focused on public policy & opinions and the subtleties and nuances that define the currencies of Africa and the world at large! The Liberian Listener will seek to bolster the principles of journalism and speak for the individual; it intends to check the abuses of power, while lending a strong voice to the protection of democracy and free speech
