The dean of the Ghanaian Parliamentary Press Corps (PPC), Andrew Edwin Arthur, recommended that the Ghana Journalist Association work with the Ministries of Information and Education ‘to help streamline’ journalism training institutions in Ghana, reports AllAfrica.com.
“This, according to him, would help raise journalism standards which for some time now have been on the decline. Mr. Arthur’s argument was against the backdrop of falling standards of journalism in the country which he partly attributed to the influx of ‘mushroom’ journalism institutions that have not been accredited and recognized by the National Accreditation Board (NAB).”
