The GJA 70th Anniversary Public Lectures are designed to address critical issues in the media industry with the view to enhancing its role in the country’s democracy and development.
The GNA has, over the years, played a critical role in the promotion of democracy and development through the gathering and dissemination of information.
In recent times, however, the once-upon-a-time influential state-owned media has suffered in diverse ways, chiefly inadequate funds and logistics for effective and efficient operation, thus losing its clout as the mother of media institutions in Ghana as far as newsgathering and dissemination are concerned.
