The Alliance for Women in Media (AWMA) has congratulated Mrs Portia Gabor as the Ghana Journalist Association (GJA) Journalist of the Year 2021 during the 26th awards ceremony.
AWMA lauded Portia for showing consistency over the past decade and focusing on stories that touch on areas of Health, Disability and Vulnerabilities.
“She has also shown a high sense of professionalism, dedication to duty and passion for what she does. It is no surprise those efforts have culminated in being rewarded with the highest journalism professional award in Ghana. Ayekoo! She has proved that despite all the threats, risks, challenges and tears this profession poses to practitioners, women are also willing and determined to make their mark.”

Portia Gabor, in reaction also has paid glowing tribute to the pacesetters who broke the glass ceiling and on whose shoulders the next generation of young female journalists ride on to dream bigger dreams and achieve even greater honours.
