(LINA) – The Press Union of Liberia (PUL) has announced the death of broadcast journalist Moses Sonkarley, who died after a period of illness on Saturday, June 4, in Monrovia.
Sonkarley came to prominence in journalism at the defunct Liberia Communication Network (LCN) where he rose to become Director of News at “Kiss FM”.
