State of the Media Report 2015
Development within the media sector in Sierra Leone has been hampered because of the unconducive environment within which the media operate. Fundamentally, in order to see a developed media industry in Sierra Lone, strate-gic interventions on reform must be taken. It is against this backdrop that the MRCG-SL is pur-suing intentional reforms in media regulation, media education and a free press amongst oth-ers. It is hoped that if these reforms are achieved our vision of a credible, economically viable and well-focused and inclusive media in Sierra Leone will be achieved.
In tracking the media reform agenda in Sierra Leone, the primary focus includes the review of existing media laws to ensure that the regulatory framework is suitable for free and responsible practice, improved professionalism through supporting media education programs that aug-ment curriculum development and high quality media training at colleges and universities, sup-porting the development of Codes of Conduct for Media Practitioners that will engender self-regulation and strengthening organizational ca-pacity of National Media Organizations.
