Challenge

Our radio programs are the means through which Liberians entertain themselves and get the daily news, and they are also playing a proxy role for health clinics, schools, and social support networks. STAR radio is widely recognized for its professionalism and independence as well as its commitment to giving ordinary Liberians the opportunity to express their opinions and to debate issues relevant to their lives.

Solution

STAR radio educates, entertains, and informs. Our mission is to offer unbiased and relevant news and information in multiple languages on a countrywide basis. Our strength is our highly trained team of journalists.

Long-Term Impact

STAR is entirely Liberian run and is considered the media of reference in West Africa. A significant part of its income comes from training young journalists from commercial and community radio stations throughout Liberia and Sierra Leone.
