There is hardly a perfect thing in this world; least a perfect man, ESPECIALLY A JOURNALIST.
Man is mired with sin and imperfect but man whiles alive has choices to make;
GOOD & BAD.
Man’s choices in life should define him, not just his circumstances.
THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD;
THAT INCLUDES THE MICROPHONE OR CAMERA OF A JOURNALIST IN MODERN DAY JOURNALISM.
The media are considered the FOURTH ESTATE of the realm after the three Arms of government;
The Executive, THE Legislture and The Judiciary…
The EDITORIAL power of a JOURNALIST is akin to the SENTENCING power of a Judge LEGISLTIVE power of a Parliamentarian or the EXECUTIVE power of the President.
Opinions are shaped [by the Media] and out opinions are born decisions of LIFE & DEATH consequences.
Agenda Setting power of the Media, particularly News Editors cannot be discounted as they decide what the people consume, how much of it is consumed how it is consumed, when it is consumed or if it is consumed at all.
Recall the Rand Gold vrs Anglo Gold saga?
Recall the Ghana Telecom-Vodafone Scandal?
There are many scandals that have or have not been given oxygen by *NEWS EDITORS* for a fee or blacked out for money…
SOLI is associated with Ghanaian journalists, but has been banned by the Ghana Journalists Association because it is considered a BRIBE which constitutes a CRIME.
WHY HAVE THE NEWS EDITORS SO FAR NOT NAMED THE BRIBE-GIVING BUSINESSMAN WHO INFLUENCED THE NPP MPS TO RESCIND THEIR DECISION TO HAVE THE FINANCE MINISTER SACKED?
The News Editors know, so why are they silent?
Larry Alans Dogbe, Editor of the Herald Newspaper is today accusing Multimedia’s News Editor, Evans Mensah of collecting $141,000 BRIBE FROM THE $1.6Billion GNPC-AKER DEAL within two days.
Let’s join the Special Prosecutor and Parliament as they begin to take more than a keen interest in this GNPC-AKER BRIBERY SCANDAL involving Evans Mensah, News Editor of Multimedia.
Because of Evans Mensah, the Joy FM Super Morning Show, Asempa FM Ekosiisen, Joy TV Newsfile and PM EXPRESS as well as other Multimedia affiliate station programmes may decide to or not talk about GNPC-AKER BRIBERY SCANDAL;
THAT IN ITSELF WILL BE NEWS.
Ghanaians are resolved to be Citizens and not Spectators.
Ghanaians are interested in watching the watchmen and to sniff out the DumbDogs and Criminal elements amongst them.
THE HONEST BROKER can mediate or cause to be mediated the settlement of a matter in the best interest of the parties concerned, for the benefit of Ghana or the overall peace in the country.
Let’s with an open mind, see if Evans Mensah of Multimedia will pass the test, especially as Multimedia itself has played a key role in bringing Ghana to the brink.
Multimedia and other media houses did Ghana and Ghanaians in by allowing Databank Research propaganda broadcasts deliberately aired on these carefully selected networks to help Ken Ofori-Atta stay at post after all the mess created by his borrowing spree at a time the economy was tanking.
Multimedia allowed Ghanaians to be fooled with the Databank Research propaganda, that the Ghanaian Economy was resilient and robust.
Multimedia allowed Ghanaians to be fooled with the Databank Research propaganda; enticed Ghanaians including Pensioners to buy government bonds…
Ghanaian Journalists have played various roles including calling Elections; and for a handsome consideration way above the Traditional Soli, to include government appointments…
THE COMING DAYS WILL BE INTERESTING…
*STAY TUNED.
