App launched to record assaults on Liberian reporters
An app has been launched for journalists to report cases of press harassment in Liberia, where media freedoms are under pressure.
The Press Union of Liberia has complained in recent times of a wave of assaults and attacks on reporters. Some have had their equipment seized.
Bad roads and communication difficulties mean that journalists who are assaulted in rural places find it takes time to inform the union.
Two years ago, the government promised to investigate a list of cases involving violence towards the media, but has yet to do so.
