Get ready for a captivating event! The 27th annual Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) media awards are set to take place on Sunday, October 29, 2023, at the prestigious Accra International Conference Centre. The event will kick off at 3 p.m., promising an exciting evening filled with recognition and celebration of professional excellence in the media industry.
This flagship annual event is highly anticipated as it acknowledges and applauds outstanding achievements in 34 competitive categories. Journalists who have exemplified excellence in their respective fields will be honored and rewarded for their remarkable contributions. Their dedication and commitment to upholding the highest journalistic standards serve as an inspiration to all.
Under the theme "Leveraging media freedom to sustain the democratic and security architecture: The litmus test of Election 2024," this year's awards reflect the vital role that media plays in fostering democracy, ensuring security, and preparing for the upcoming 2024 elections. It is an opportunity to recognize the media's significant contributions in promoting transparency, accountability, and public awareness.
The event will be graced by approximately 1,000 participants, including esteemed guests such as ministers of state, members of Parliament, representatives from the diplomatic corps, and local and international media partners. Their presence underscores the importance of the media in society and their appreciation for the crucial role journalists play in shaping public discourse.
We are honored to announce that the keynote speaker for the ceremony will be none other than the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Mrs. Jean Mensa. Her expertise and insights will undoubtedly provide valuable perspectives on the role of the media in democratic processes.
Leading the event as Chairman of the National Peace Council will be Rev Dr. Ernest Adu Gyamfi, while other distinguished guests of honor will include the Minister of Information, Mr. Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the Chairman of the National Media Commission, Mr. Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh, and the US Ambassador to Ghana, Ms. Virginia E. Palmer. Their presence signifies their recognition of the media's indispensable role in society and their support for the industry's continuous growth.
Noteworthy of this year's event is the change in schedule. Unlike previous years, the ceremony will take place in the late afternoon and on a Sunday. This modification allows more participants to attend and enjoy the grand celebration while respecting their commitments and schedules.
The Ghana Journalists Association is dedicated to promoting professionalism, ethics, and excellence in journalism. The annual media awards serve as a shining moment, highlighting the remarkable achievements within the industry. It is a true testament to the talent, resilience, and dedication of Ghana's journalists as they continue to shape the nation's media landscape.
