MONROVIA, March 3 (LINA) -Acting Information Minister Isaac Jackson has described as “outstanding and nationalistic” coverage by the Liberian media of the visit of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to the United States.



He pointed out that the media exhibited a high level of professionalism in their coverage of the President, particularly her meeting with U.S President Barrack Obama.
Speaking Monday during the Ministry of Information regular press briefing, Jackson emphasized that the Liberian media have been “very ethical and excellent in their reportage of the president’s activities in the U.S.”

He named some of the media institutions that reported on the President’s visit to the US in a more professional manner as The Inquirer, Daily Observer, Front Page Africa, Heritage, New Dawn, Success Forum, Analyst, Public Agenda, Liberian Nation and the Democrat.

Meanwhile, Deputy Minister Jackson has reaffirmed government’s commitment to fighting corruption in the country, adding that it remains public enemy number one.
He indicated that before her departure for the United States, President Sirleaf visited the Ministry of Justice and told Minister Benedict Sannoh to take the fight against corruption very seriously.
 
Jackson stressed that government’s efforts aimed at containing the negative consequences of corruption will not be compromised.
