General News of Friday, 8 November 2019Source: ghanaiantimes.com.ghGovernment to review regulations establishing state-owned mediaState-owned media, Ghana Broadcasting CorporationPresident Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has expressed the government’s commitment to help review the regulations that established state-owned media in the country. In a meeting with the National Media Commission (NMC) at the Jubilee House on Wednesday evening, the President stressed the need to change the concept of the state-owned media to make them more independent. He explained that the idea that a media was “owned by the state” was not proper in a multi-party democratic environment such as Ghana. He said under the current state, the political party that took over government automatically had ready-made media instruments, which was unfair. The President used the example such as the British Broadcasting Corporation which was seen as a public broadcaster in Britain, and not necessarily a state-owned media to make his point.
