MONROVIA, LIBERIA-The Information Ministry and the Press Union of Liberia (PUL) have concluded talks on upholding ethical standards in the media, ahead of the 2023 October Presidential and Legislative Elections.

The talks were initiated by the Information Ministry requesting the PUL Leadership to a round table dialogue on ethical breaches committed by Spoon FM-Liberia.
