The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) will on Wednesday, August 31, 2022 launch the ‘26th edition of GJA Media Awards’ at the Ghana International Press Centre in Accra.
A seven-member GJA Media Awards Committee to select winners to be celebrated will also be inaugurated at the ceremony.
This was contained in a release issued and signed by the General Secretary of the association, Mr. Kofi Yeboah.
According to the release this year’s event is tentatively scheduled to take place in November.
The flagship programme of the GJA is organised annually to recognize and reward excellence in journalism by members of the Association.
Parts of the release read: “The awards ceremony was last held in 2020 but the controversy surrounding the recent GJA elections did not permit the organization of the awards in 2021.
The 26th GJA media awards promises to be better and bigger, following a review of the entire programme to make it more attractive to members.
A seven-member GJA Media Awards Review Committee under the chairmanship of Dr. Sarah Akrofi-Quarcoo, a lecturer at the Department of Communication Studies, University of Ghana, has presented its report to the National Executive.
The National Executive wishes to express profound gratitude to the chairperson and members of the committee for delivering on their mandate within a very short period.
The National Executive encourages members of the Association and sponsors to heavily patronize the awards in their respective roles to make the awards successful.”
