Media Generals Portia Gabor, Joseph Armstrong Gold-Alorgbey and Juliet Bawuah are in the list of some final 25 distinguished Journalists to be awarded at this year Ghana Journalists Association 26th awards ceremony scheduled to take place at the Kempinski Hotel in Accra, on November 12, 2022.
The President of the Ghana Journalists Association, Albert Dwumfuor said he is confident the 2022 GJA awards ceremony would be one of the best ever in the history of the association.
The award categories for this year were reduced.
In all, some 137 entries were received.
The Chairperson of the 26th GJA Awards Committee, Yaa Oforiwah Asare-Peasah noted, of the entries had issues and were therefore not considered at all.
The hitches according to her included wrong categorization, poor organization of content, poor quality of presentation, such as scanning of photocopied materials, making reading totally impossible. Others are running videos without audio, disjointed sentences and incoherent flow of ideas, among others.
Madam Yaa Oforiwah Asare-Peasah said in spite of all these hiccups, the committee members were equal to the task and delivered on schedule.
The theme for this year’s awards is “Walking the path towards economic recovery: The role of the Media”. The President of the Ghana Journalists Association, Mr Albert Dwumfuor said the theme reflects the associations.
