Pronouncement by the Liberian National Police Force declaring journalist Sam Deam, Publisher of the Independent Newspaper wanted for publishing pornographic photos of Minister Willis Knuckles as created serious concern among practicing and non practicing journalists, describing his action as 'unprofessional' and endangering the journalism profession. A cross of section of journalists who spoke to the GNN today expressed total disappointment on the part of the Independent newspaper Publisher.
"Sam Deam has violated the code of ethics of this noble profession, the Liberian Government should have allow the press Union of Liberia (PUL) to handle its member instead of being declared wanted by the State," Paul Noring for Editor of the Liberian News Agency (LINA) speaking to the GNN said.
Several callers on a local radio Talk Show said they were also disappointed and worried about the future of their children who said they said saw this orgy photograph of Minister Knuckles in public.
The callers called on the Press Union of Liberia to handle the issue, "these guys need to be monitored, look what this paper has done to our children with this kind of pictures been showing to them", another caller in a disappointing mood said.
Following the publication of Minister Knuckles' orgy photos, several persons including young people were seen with photocopied of the scene. Due to the demand of this by the public, the paper was sold as high as $LD135-150.00 per copy, while a photocopy of the scene was also sold at $LD50.00.
Meanwhile, the legal representative of journalist Deam, Cllr. Serenus Cepheus told a local radio station that sees nothing wrong for his client (Deam) to be wanted by the State, "My client has done nothing wrong to be wanted by the Government," Cllr. Cepheus told the public on the radio.
