A "Novel" Way To Read Newspapers

Alfred Sirleaf’s ‘Daily Talk’ newspaper reaches thousands of Liberians every day in the tiny African country’s capital, Monrovia, but he always produces only one copy - he writes the day’s biggest stories on a large blackboard beside a busy road, something Sirleaf has done since he founded The Daily Talk in 2000.

Mario Garcia said, "I have found great inspiration in Sirleaf’s model of a newspaper that serves its purpose in grand style, yet he produces it daily by just writing with chalk on a board. It proves that storytelling is more about the stories than the medium or the technology. If we ever needed a reminder of this, then Sirleaf’s newspaper on a blackboard is the ultimate testimony." Well said.
