The newspaper industry in Monrovia dates back to the 1820s, with the founding of the ''Liberia Herald'', one of the first newspapers to be published in Africa. Today, numerous tabloid-style newspapers are printed daily or bi-weekly, most are 20 pages or less. The ''Daily Talk'' is a compilation of news and Bible quotations written daily on a roadside blackboard in the Sinkor section of Monrovia.
