Description

Within the Action Plan period (2013 - 2014), Government will review and enact the national Broadcasting Bill to bring broadcasting, in Ghana, in line with nationally acceptable accountability standards and ensure that it is supportive of national unity and cohesion. Currently, a major national political concern is the threat posed by a vibrant but unregulated independent broadcasting. Some political broadcasting content is considered a threat to national unity, cohesion and even public morality.
Responsible Agencies: Ministry of Information (MOI), National Media Commission (NMC). Collaborators: Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), Ghana Independent Broadcasters Association (GIBA), Media Foundation of West Africa (MFWA), National Coalition on Broadcasting Bill (NCBB)
