Minister for Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah is challenging the Ghana News Agency to establish a unique role for itself in the Ghanaian media landscape in order to remain relevant as government’s official news agency.
He made this call on Monday, April 26, 2021, when he paid a visit to the agency as part of a routine tour of relevant agencies and media outlets under his Ministry amid ongoing discussions to restructure state-owned media houses and make them viable players in the industry.
“When Kwame Nkrumah envisioned GNA, the media landscape in Ghana and across the world was not like it is today. Today, we have pluralism in the industry, we have a multiplicity of platforms across the country, over about 500 radio stations, over 100 television platforms, several online and print platforms.
