The Heritage Profile

The Heritage Newspaper, which is published by the Heritage Communications Incorporated, was established in 1996 during the civil upheaval in Liberia.The establishment of the Heritage Newspaper was necessitated by the growing need for the media to play a more positive role in helping to ensure that the political brouhaha peacefully ends.
 

And true to its Mission Statement, the paper contributed immensely in helping to bring the Liberian Civil War to a peaceful end. The enormous contributions of the paper were widely hailed by Liberians both home and abroad including the International Community.
Since its establishment in 1996, the Heritage has remained unbending in the execution of its  noble task.The paper, which was rated as the Best Newspaper in 2011 by the Press Union of Liberia(PUL),the umbrella organization of journalists in the country, has striven to provide accurate, balanced news and information on issues at home and abroad. Prior to the PUL Award in 2011, the Heritage was awarded in 2005 as the Best Newspaper in Liberia by the European Union(EU). Interestingly, the paper continues to promote unfettered freedom of expression and of the press, contribute to human growth and development and champion human rights as well as advocate for a safe environment-the reasons the Heritage Newspaper came into existence in 1996.

The Paper’s Commitment is embedded in Our Mission Statement-“The Truth Is Our Guide”. While we unaffectedly acknowledge our constraints in the discharge of our professional task, we will unreservedly accept constructive criticisms in the enhancement of works. However, we will categorically reject criticisms that have to do with settling of scores-no benefit to the Liberian people and the world at large we dearly serve.
We have consolation in the support be it moral, financial or otherwise we continue to get from our people—the Liberian people and the rest of the world that truly see our patriotism and passion to see our nation liberated from bad governance, especially fraud, waste and abuse.
In this vein, we will also leave no stone unturned in exposing those who think they can make everybody kowtow to their roguish and corrupt ways at the expense of the majority. Frankly, we have no pride in dealing with con-artists and thieves. We rather remain poor and are
respected than get rich while our country and people bleed from the unscrupulous actions of few unpatriotic and self-centered people.
To this end, we will continue to damn the governors when the need arises; we will equally give them their kudos when the occasion demands.
