Director of Television at the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC), Ebenezer Ampaabeng has bemoaned the way some TV and Radio presenters have become abusive in their presentations on air.
According to him it is good to bold and assertive but not to be insulting.
Mr. Ampaabeng made this observation at the launch of “Media in Ghana: the Bold, Beautiful, Ugly and Maverick (Media BBUM) at the Ghana International Press Centre on Wednesday, 29th June, 2022.
The veteran broadcaster indicated that journalists can put out facts and figures without sounding abusive and insulting.
He was of a high hope that the airing of the exceptional quality of some past journalists will help re-orient the minds of current and future journalists.
The Media BBUM initiative, according to the organisers, Centre for Communication and Culture, is to recognise and celebrate 13 astute journalists.
To this end, the Director of TV, GBC promised the initiators of Media BBUM that GBC will use all its seven TV channels, 25 radio stations and the all new media handles to promote the project.
