it is this war that prompted the creation of the digital i saw to meet people who knew wanting to be reform but there was there was no means of getting information soon the idea of the book came to me to deal talk news put that in the chalkboard news people and some to begin to click to music you can start of with just like. me i. start to see things. as source more refract to me on the sin of one operation by something and so silent that when you are after a lesson. it makes sense you had to. morrow want her to want to fight drug use.

very funny in a new money in. the mood and then there are mistakes. of this country. alfred's free press a wonderful film which was broadcast more than 6 years ago now so sure you're wondering what happened to alford what happened to his news chalkboard rewind went back to monrovia to find out what has become of the daily talk of alfred and his rate is. low from the public on a daily basis of. what's happening and i'm exercising. changes before over the years you know.

really i am one of the we came a whistle which would inform the public about it. factual information the information is up. to the people. everything that we see how we research it before. this is the news room this is where the news stories is published and it's how it's done you know like i said unusual. for you look at these things i would think that the news will. this is. news dick's. x. . of the stories and this is the story the house and the board have in the story.

it's hard work. and there's a publisher would get it to what you're for time and and do with your family 100 percent it's very difficult you have to spend half of the time running out the stories you have to have your time researching and all of these things. from where i come from and look you know where special liberia in history. in the press freedom it was difficult. because what you've published people come after you you know it was a very tough. my shop was broken down it was the mahdi. it broke me because.

i'll go where our dog get them i suppose they'll do mateen mon family anyway when it broke i guess that out all was lost i said though i get i get i myself in though . so i must continue to go out there and these also encourage me and i may keep it all so i did out of common stock in you know a friend called me over my use to make an issue that they had about the house so they didn't get better shoes and then i started from. believing god that we were we had me one day and i always did these i would do what

i had timed out or does the b.b.c. all what we were to be seen past another clark is preaching what we were. if you have the real heroes used to put to good use he will have the money to people so he did it all get that is news from here as news people and they get put out to. us and the point up on the reef from. we did it very very good helped us got some time with. the amount to buy us people get information on this. yes so i really make a lot of my hope for liberia is that one. liberian. called would be quite opportunity for all of us and everybody would have cost us cool melich of
