Past Executive Editor of the Gye Nyame Concord, Alfred Ogbarmey said the state of the Ghanaian media had for a long while been known by the staff.
He said people didn't need a report that would highlight what is happening in the Ghanaian media.
Mr. Ogbarmey was commenting on the latest new knowledge about media valuable open doors in Ghana, during a 3FM evening news with Mauena Egbeta, on Thursday, May 5.
"For me," he said, "I think it is fundamental that the report comes several days after the US Department of State conveyed its hopeless essential freedoms report, and imparted the concerns raised by the World Press Freedom Report.
"The truth is that we didn't have such a report to know reality. Sam Jonah featured the way that the lifestyle of concordance was entered. Correspondence workers have for quite a while had some significant awareness of this. Today I heard Manasseh Awuni examining the way that since he started his work as an essayist after continuing from GIJ in 2010, his demonstration of information projecting began to deteriorate under the continuous framework. Ask yourself when did you first or last be aware of an essayist getting away from the nation roused by a distrustful feeling of dread toward being killed? It happened to Manasseh. "
Ghana did inadequately in the latest public articulation on the overview, dropping 30 spots from 2021 to 60th in the World Press Freedom Index 2022 by 67.43 core interests.
The report highlighted the public power's extremism, a situation that compelled authors to go through a careful self-evaluation concerning their work.
"But the country is seen as a nearby trailblazer in security, scholars have gone up against extending strain all through the long haul. To shield their positions and their prosperity, they are continuously going to self-appraisal, as assemblies show solidarity to an investigation, "said World Press Freedom in its latest issue followed on May 3, 2022.
It added: "The Access to Information Act of 2019 endorses journalists to search for information that impacts the whole country. Regardless, the stipulation thinks about a charge assuming the referenced information is in a language other than English - a system used to restrict journalists' permission to the information they search for. "
"Also, 33% of the media are intelligently or socially bound. The substance they produce is a significant piece of it. In Ghana, various news sources are managing financial issues, portrayed by low wages and lamentable working conditions for reporters. Routinely, new papers are just familiar with turnover in two or three months, given the inability to meet creation costs.
"The state-guaranteed media benefits from government-upheld advancing and paid arrangements. Government advancing are remunerated with a direct and conflicting collaboration ".
