The Sierra Leone Association of Journalists (SLAJ) regrets to announce the sudden death of our colleague, STEPHEN DOUGLAS, from heart attack, which sad event took place today Sunday 26th November 2023 at the 34 Military hospital, Freetown.
Until his death, Mr Douglas was the Editor of the News Watch Newspaper, former Editor of Awoko newspaper, and an Associate Member of the Sierra Leone Association of Journalists (SLAJ).
“This is shocking. Steve was active in our professional WhatsApp group this morning asking questions about the security situation in the country. He has been an amazing associate member of SLAJ, always ready to serve.
