## About

In FrontPage Africa's Monrovia newsroom the working assumption is that someone powerful would rather a story stay buried. Liberia's best-known investigative paper runs on trafficking dockets, bribery probes and paper trails, turning that scrutiny on President Weah and President Boakai with equal appetite. The libel suits and summonses that keep landing on its desk read less as a threat to the work than its clearest measure.

## Profile

## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
