“The media is the primary resource through which public opinion is shaped and at times manipulated,” ACTION AID has reported. Media managers, the NEC and other observers have kept this in mind when organizing journalists, media institutions, radio hosts and such others over the years, in their plans for covering elections. The journalist shall therefore refrain from publishing unfounded, slanted or biased information as well as mere rumors or conjectures. Reporting on women, Section 8.1: Men and women shall be treated equally. These three principles were the core focus of media workshops last week hosted by ACTION AID Liberia’s Media Training on Sexual and Gender Based Violence(SGBV) for elections coverage.
