Minister Chernor Bah Joins French President Macron, Showcases Sierra Leone Media Freedom Reforms in Paris
Sierra Leone’s Minister of Information and Civic Education, Chernor Bah, outlined the country’s pioneering media freedom reforms on a global stage, sharing a high-level panel with French President Emmanuel Macron and other world leaders.
The International Conference on Information Integrity and Independent Media, co-convened by Presidents Macron and John Dramani Mahama of Ghana, gathered heads of state and ministers in Paris to address the escalating threats of disinformation and to bolster independent journalism worldwide.
Representing President Julius Maada Bio, Minister Bah detailed Sierra Leone’s landmark progress under what he termed the President’s “information freedom agenda.”
“These reforms reflect President Bio’s conviction that democracy and trust can only flourish where citizens are well-informed and the media operates freely and responsibly,” Bah stated.
