The Stage Media team is mainly made up of young, mostly independent journalists from across cities in Liberia.
To ensure the independence of our content, TSM makes sure that no member of the team including the members of our advisory board is involved in political activities or that none of us has any ties with a political group or any civic movement.
These include a commitment to nonpartisanship and fairness, transparency of sources, transparency of funding and organization, transparency of methodology, and an open and honest corrections policy.
TSM also follow the publications of each of our employees online to ensure that they have not taken a position or engaged in a political struggle. This is in order to ensure the independence of our project vis-à-vis political organizations. We are an independent team and TSM has no political link.
