Margibi Young Journalists Association (MaYJA) Condemns Exclusion of Rural Journalists from Presidential Media Dinner

Kakata, Margibi County — The Margibi Young Journalists Association (MaYJA) strongly condemns the selective invitation process employed during the recent Presidential Media Dinner hosted by His Excellency Joseph Nyuma Boakai. The event, intended to foster dialogue between the Presidency and the Liberian media community, saw a staggering 99% of its attendees drawn exclusively from Monrovia-based journalists and media executives—leaving out rural and county-based media professionals entirely.

MaYJA views this exclusion as a troubling and recurring trend where rural journalists are recognized only during election periods but sidelined when it comes to critical policy discussions and high-level media engagements. This practice undermines the values of inclusive governance and fair media representation that the Boakai administration has pledged to uphold.

“The media dinner with President Boakai was a national engagement. To have no representation of county-based reporters, correspondents, and talk show hosts is deeply disheartening,” said Joekai George Yango, President of MaYJA. “It sends a strong message that the voices of journalists working in the rural regions are not considered essential to national conversations.”

Why County-Based Journalists Must Be Included:

✓ National Coverage: Rural journalists serve as the primary source of news and information in Liberia’s 15 counties. Their work keeps the nation informed from grassroots to capital.

✓ Equity and Representation: Inclusive media participation ensures that development and governance concerns from rural areas are heard at the highest levels.

✓ Balanced Narrative: County-based journalists provide a unique perspective that enriches national discourse and balances urban-centric reporting.

✓ Democratic Growth: A truly democratic media environment must engage all sectors of the press—not just those in Monrovia.

MaYJA calls on the Ministry of State for Presidential Affairs, the Executive Mansion Press Office, and the Press Union of Liberia to ensure a more inclusive and transparent media engagement process going forward. The Association remains committed to promoting professional journalism and equal opportunities for all media practitioners in Liberia, regardless of location.
