This is Alfred J. Sirleaf and his innovative newspaper is called The Daily Talk.
Each morning, Alfred buys half a dozen newspapers and scours them for the most important developments.
For international news, he goes to the local internet cafe to access sites like BBC.
He also relies on messages from volunteer correspondents.

The Daily Talk is located in Tubman Boulevard, a main thoroughfare in Monrovia.
In place of photographs he uses old campaign posters and other free handouts.
Sirleafs The Daily Talk ran into troubles during the first few years.
Militias destroyed Sirleafs blackboard twice before he finally fled into “exile” in Ghana.
Sirleafs most consistent problem is funding.
The occasional gifts of cash and pre-paid cellphone cards is all that keeps him in business.
