Government promises protection for Journlists at GJA Awards

Story By: Deborah Adorsu

The Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, says the true measure of press freedom is not Ghana’s position on an international ranking.

He said real press freedom is whether a journalist can investigate wrongdoing without intimidation, report on public affairs without fear, and express an independent editorial opinion without unlawful retaliation.

Addressing journalists, media managers and invited guests, he said the government remains committed to protecting journalists and creating a safe environment for independent journalism to thrive.
