Journalists must strengthen credibility in digital era- Pratt urges

19, GNA – Mr Kwesi Pratt Jnr, Managing Editor of the Insight Newspaper, has urged media practitioners to uphold professional standards and strengthen public trust amid rapid technological and artificial intelligence (AI) advances.

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.
