General News of Thursday, 29 March 2018Source: www.ghanaweb.comGive attention to inequality issues in Ghana - MFWAplay videoMFWA Programme Manager, Abigail LarbiThe Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) has charged the media to develop a keen interest in the reportage of issues regarding inequality in Ghana. Executive Director of MFWA, Sulemana Braimah noted that disparities which continue to swell between urban and rural communities, socially and politically, threatens the country’s progress. The call follows a study conducted by the MFWA on a ‘Baseline Report on Media Coverage of Inequality Issues in Ghana’ which revealed how uninformed the media is as far as issues of inequalities are concerned. A presentation showed that most media houses reported less on inequality issues in Ghana with only a section going a step further to bring the situation to light. The effect of Ghana’s growth, coupled with rising inequality against the backdrop of declining poverty therefore calls for a rethink of Ghana’s growth strategy.
