Liberian Educator Urges Media PractitionersA Liberian educator and broadcast media executive has urged Liberian journalists to stop accepting ‘brown envelopes’ and other forms of incentives as a reward for performing their professional duties. Dr. Walker reminded the graduates that the graduation was the culmination of the collective work of the staff and their sponsors. Dr. Walker also underscored the need for the graduates and Liberian journalists to cultivate the virtue of integrity that will impact the Liberian society positively. J. Emmanuel Z. Bowier urged the graduates to learn to labor and wait through the fundamentals of journalism as they leave the school. He said the first BCLS graduates are making some headway at the various media institutions in Liberia, even though not yet at editorial and news director levels.
