Media Freedom in Ghana: A case study

February 11th, 2008 · No Comments

The West African nation of Ghana celebrated 50 years of independence in 2007.

While Ghana is a stable and democratic nation, the country still struggles with a number of human rights issues.

To address those issues, Journalists for Human Rights places Canadian media trainers in Ghanaian newsrooms to work with local journalists in covering human rights stories.

The goal of the five-year plan is to help curb human rights abuses by using the media to increase the public’s awareness of human rights issues.

This video case study examines JHR’s strategy and its effectiveness.

Directed and Produced by Doug Murray
