The Bush Chicken is an online Liberian newspaper that was founded to ensure more inclusive coverage of rural communities and to promote high quality and ethical journalism. [1]
Founded in 2014 and launched on January 31, 2015, the outlet is published by Common Sense Solutions, Inc., which is co-owned by Jefferson Krua, Torli Krua, Francis Cordor, Alex Busingye, and Marius Bah.
From 2017-2019, The Bush Chicken won the most excellence awards given out by the Press Union of Liberia - more than any Liberian newspaper. [2] [3]
The Bush Chicken was founded by Jefferson Krua, a civil engineer by training who spent the majority of his life in the U.S. after fleeing Liberia’s civil war at the age of five. [4] Although Krua initially ran the news outlet from the U.S., he later moved to Liberia to oversee its growth, recruiting reporters in most of Liberia's 15 counties. [5]
