Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has released the list of award nominees for the 27th edition of the annual GJA Awards. <\/b><\/p>\n

The awards ceremony slated for Sunday, October 29, 2023, will celebrate journalists who distinguished themselves in their professional practice.<\/p>\n

The nominees span across 34 categories including the ultimate award winner, the GJA Journalist of the Year.<\/p>\n

Mrs Betty Apau-Oppon, Chairperson of the GJA Awards Committee, announcing the nominees at a press conference, in Accra, on Wednesday, said the Committee received 276 entries including 15 entries from student journalists.<\/p>\n

She said out of the 34 categories, four-Sports, photo journalism, online news and radio documentary, failed to produce a winner.<\/p>\n

She indicated that, the Committee selected the best entries which ticked key areas such as captivating headlines, good intros, multiple sourcing and interviews, coherent presentations, verified facts and data references, excellent language, balanced work.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the end, what we have is a reflection of output of journalists and media houses across the year 2022,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Mrs Apau-Oppon said, while this year\u2019s entries were an improvement on previous years, some of the entries had issues, including wrong categorisation and were, thus, not considered.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is worthy to note that those selected for the awards did their best to get what was deserving,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The list of the nominees are; Anthony Adongo Apubeo , Beatrice Senadju \u2013 Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC), Della Russel Ocloo- Daily Graphic, Vivian Adu-Atinka Media, Fred Duhoe \u2013 Citi TV, Akua Oforiwa Darko-GBC, Gifty Adjei-GBC, Alberto Mario Noretti- The Mirror, Seth Bokpe-The Fourth Estate, Emma Davies-MultiMedia Group, Mohammed Fugu- Daily Graphic, Kweku Bolton \u2013 GBC; Francisca Enchil \u2013 Freelance, via Joynews and Edward Adeti \u2013 The Fourth Estate\/Media without Borders.<\/p>\n

The theme for this year\u2019s event is: \u201cLeveraging Media Freedom to Sustain the Democratic and Security Architecture: The Litmus Test of Election 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Albert Kwabena Dwumfour, President, GJA, commended the nine-member Awards Committee for diligently delivering on its mandate.<\/p>\n

He said the GJA believed that the 2024 general election was \u201clitmus test\u201d for the democratic and security credential of the country.<\/p>\n

As such, he said, the media\u2019s role in ensuring success in the elections could not be underplayed, stressing that, it could only ensure this \u201conly under a media freedom regime that is conducive to the process.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the reason the GJA will continue to condemn and raise against any form of attack on the media which we see as an affront to media freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n
