The Chairman of the National Media Commission (NMC), Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh, called on journalists to uphold journalistic ethics and not to be manipulated by politicians ahead of the 2024 general elections.

He urged reporters to prioritize their sense of professionalism and not allow politically partisan interests to interfere with their work.

“We must not allow ourselves to be misused by politically partisan interest to undermine our sense of professionalism,” Mr Boadu-Ayeboafoh asserted.
