Journalists must strengthen credibility in digital era- Kwasi Pratt urges

Mr Pratt said freedom of expression must be regarded as a responsibility to pursue the truth, adding that technology should complement journalism without replacing professional judgement.

Mr Pratt made the call at the 77th Anniversary Symposium of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) in Accra, where he said public trust could be built through courageous reportage, distinguishing evidence from allegations, investigating the powerful and listening to people without access to power.“Ethical journalism in the age of digital media is a collective responsibility resting first on digital platforms and the regulatory capacity to ensure digital platforms assume the responsibility for ethical adherence,” she said.
