Ahead of the forthcoming 2024 generation elections, the Executive Secretary for the National Peace Council (NPC), George Amoh has advised journalists to desist from insults to help promote peace in the country.
To him, integrity is very important in the media role.
Mr Amoh urged the media to set good references for the next generation and help advance peace and harmony in the country.
Speaking on two-day training on peace journalism and fact-based conflict sensitive reporting organised by Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) in the Greater Accra region, Mr Amoh charged the media to discipline themselves and play their role effectively.
He said that media men should be accountable for their reportage.
Mr Amoh encouraged them to remember a fact of life after their media journey.
MFWA is implementing a 12-month project to empower 100 journalists from over 50 news media organisations and five (5) fact-checkers across seven regions in Ghana to enhance their capacity to publish fact-based media content that promote peace, community resilience and democratic values. The Regions are Northern, Savannah, Upper East, Upper West, North East and Bono East.
The capacity building was titled “Enhancing the Media’s Role in Conflict Resolution, Peacebuilding and Democratic Consolidation in Ghana” funded by the US Embassy, Ghana.
