in-depth reportage ahead of Election 2024 Media practitioners must ensure critical and in-depth reportage towards inclusive, free, fair, credible and peaceful elections, the Executive Director of Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA), Mr Sulemana Briamah, has stated.

He said journalists were not im­mune to the effect of violence and that they were the first and worst victims in the event of breakdown of rule of law and democratic order.

Mr Briamah made the call at a two-day engagement with media personnel on countering misinfor­mation to promote participatory democracy, and peaceful elections in Ghana.

The event was aimed at contrib­uting to the strengthening of the role of media professionals to pro­mote participatory democracy with lessons learnt and best practices to free, fair, inclusive and peaceful elections in Ghana.
