Ghana Journalists Association information


The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) is the umbrella organization to which all journalists in Ghana belong.[1] The current president is Mr Albert Kwabena Dwumfour.[2]

Founded in 1949,[2] the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has become the umbrella organization representing Ghanaian journalists. It is registered as a professional association and listed as one of several bodies on the board of the National Media Commission.[2]

In its activities GJA tends to achieve higher professional standards, to promote and defend press freedom and to create solidarity among Ghanaian journalists and with other journalists both in Ghana and abroad.

To realize these objectives GJA organizes educational programmes, workshops, seminars and lectures on issues relevant to media development and growth.

In May 2021, the GJA, Ghana Independent Broadcasters Association and the Private Newspaper Printers Association of Ghana urged the National Security to apologize to the management of Citi FM and Citi TV due to the alleged assault and maltreatment of Caleb Kudah and the invasion of the media house.[3]

Albert Dwumfour, the President of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), delivered a speech addressing the concerning rise in threats and attacks targeting journalists while they perform their duties. The address took place at the Ghana International Press Center in Accra on July 18, 2023.[2][4]

Mr. Albert Kwabena Dwumfour, the President of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), has revealed intentions to introduce the "See Something, Say Something to a Journalist" campaign. The primary objective of this initiative is to promote the reporting of suspicious activities or information by individuals to journalists, with the aim of supporting the efforts of security agencies.[5]

The speaker emphasized their distinct initiative aimed at supporting security agencies by disseminating information on crimes and attacks against journalists, separate from national security efforts.[5]
