Northern regional GJA organise capacity building training for journalist.

The New Northern Regional leadership of Ghana Journalist Association (GJA) in partnership with NEDCo is set to promote high journalistic standards which would help to propel and accelerate the development of our communities.

Purpose of  journalism is to provide citizens with the information they needed to make the best possible decisions about their lives, their communities, their societies, and their governments with the overall goal to improve upon their lives.

The purpose can not be realised if Journalists in the region failed to arm themselves with the necessary knowledge in order to execute the job in the right way.

It is therefore imperative for all journalist to cultivate the habit of reading and researching in order to improve on their work.

The President, Yakubu Abdul-Majeed added that electricity is now the lifeline of all businesses, including the media. It is prudent for all especially those in the media industry to play the watchdog role effectively and efficiently by ensuring that duty bearers provide us nothing, but quality service.

Residents always expect service providers such as NEDCo to supplied uninterrupted power, it is equally incumbent on journalist to educate or sensitise the public to live up to their responsibilities. And again help educate the public on the urgent need for them to pay their bills promptly in order for us all to enjoy quality services.

This new executives are said to ensure excellence journalism in the region, as such the launch of journalist Awards for 2022 which will be held on November 5 2022. Entries are open to all Journalists in the Northern, Savanna and North East regions. This is part of efforts to encourage practitioners to do more quality work.
