Liberia
A veteran journalist of more than two decades, Rodney Sieh is currently the founder and editor of FrontPageAfrica, Liberia’s largest independent print and online daily newspaper of record, which has set a new standard for journalism in Liberia with groundbreaking reporting that has brought down senior government figures and exposed corruption at all levels. In partnership with New Narratives, FrontPage Africa he has also shone a spotlight on issues impacting large swathes of ordinary Liberians that are not regularly reported such as female genital cutting, the impact of rising food prices, drug trafficking, teen pregnancy and prostitution. The paper has also broken new ground in the large number of women journalists it employs.
