我们认为必须给予媒体充分的自由。如果你压制人民太久，就会发展到他们无法吸收的地步，他们就会爆发，就会出现类似于现在东欧所发生的情况。但媒体在履行职责时也应该认识到这一点，必须负责任，不能鲁莽。当我们看到有人不负责任、鲁莽地利用媒体时，我们感到非常担忧。我的论点一直是，记者的笔和军事射手手中的步枪一样致命。这意味着新闻工作者应该对他在纸上做出的承诺极其谨慎。这并不意味着他不应该批评……，只要批评是客观的，就没有什么问题。我们衷心希望从事媒体这样崇高职业的人们，能够有应有的礼仪。约瑟夫·莫莫总统，西非，1990 年 2 月 5 日至 11 日
We believe the media must be given every amount of freedom. If you muzzle the people for too long, it will get to a point when they'll not be able to absorb it, they will explode and there will be developments similar to what is now taking place in Eastern Europe. However, the media too should realize this in going about their duties, they must be responsible, they cannot afford to be reckless. We feel very worried when we see people using the press irresponsibly and recklessly. My argument has always been that the journalist's pen is as lethal as the rifle in the hand of a military marksman. This means the pressman should be extremely cautious about what he commits to paper. This doesn't mean he should not criticise.., As long as the criticism is objective, there is nothing wrong with it. We sincerely hope the people who are in such a noble profession as the media should carry themselves with the decorum expected of them. President Joseph Momoh, West Africa, 5-11 February, 1990
