Minister urges journalists to respect ethics

Mr Abdallah Abubakari, Northern Regional Minister has expressed the need for journalists to be guided by the ethics of the profession and avoid biased reportage during this year’s electioneering.

The Minister was speaking during a meeting with some executives of the Northern Regional chapter of the Ghana Journalists’ Association (GJA) in Tamale on Friday.

The meeting was to enable the regional executives to formally welcome the Minister to office as well as expressed their readiness to work with him, to promote the development of the region.

Mr Abubakari said there is no need for biased reporting to favour any political party, adding journalists should tell the stories as they are.

He expressed unhappiness journalists who skew information to project political parties that they sympathise.

He urged them to follow the ethics of their profession in their reportage. He recognised the critical roles of the media in nation building, saying even though journalists are free to align themselves to any political party, there is need to insulate the profession from partisanship to promote the development of the country.

Mr Caesar Abagali, Regional Chairman of GJA urged politicians to be responsible in their utterances and actions during the electioneering so as to protect the peace and unity of the country.
