One innovative journalist has found a way to get daily news and information to Liberians - with a big blackboard.
In Liberia, a country where radios and televisions are luxuries most people cannot afford, Alfred Sirleaf, an enterprising journalist, has founded an innovative newspaper, The Daily Talk.
The paper is Alfred's answer to the misinformation he says caused Liberia's brutal civil war. His innovation is to write it up each day on a blackboard in the centre of Monrovia, accessible to all.
"The legacy of the war created poverty, hardship. It is this war that prompted the creation of The Daily Talk. I believe that people should be informed of what is happening," Alfred told Al Jazeera.
