The Member of Parliament for Ho-West, Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah has announced a training program for Journalists and Media Practitioners in the Volta region in order to enhance their knowledge and skills in the profession.
According to him, the media which is the fourth estate plays a pivotal role in educating and informing the citizenry, hence the need for capacity-building programs to enhance their professionalism.
Mr. Bedzrah, who was addressing journalists and media practitioners at a soiree hosted by him over the weekend, tasked the regional leadership of the Ghnana Journalists Association to come out with schedule for the training, expected to come off by the end of first quarter 2015.
He also hinted of an award scheme to honour hard working journalists and media practitioners at the next press soiree and charged practitioners to be development oriented in their reportage.
The Deputy Volta Regional Minister, Francis Ganyaglo who chaired the function, commended the media for their support to the regional administration in 2014 and urged them to do more in promoting the numerous tourism potentials of the region to the world.
He however urged local radio stations to fair and balance in their reportage, stating that citizens have the right to accurate and adequate information from the media, and entreated presenters to do in thorough research  into issues before putting them into the public domain.
