WRONG PATTERN OF JOURNALISM IS BEING EXHIBITED IN RECENT MEDIA WORK.

         

 

 

 

 _{Media mogul, Mr. Albert Johnson who has being in the media for about three decades has revealed that, most journalists lack the ethics in journalism and are on the wrong pattern of journalism. He said this during an interview when asked to give an advice to the upcoming journalists.}

             _{Mr. Albert, who believes in discipline as success tool in his media career emphasized on how people think journalism is an easy task so therefore everyone is entering and doing his or her own thing thinking its journalism. He said, "we’ve lost it a lil while because, it looks as If media has become too cheap and too easy for people to do it but when you don’t do it right it is obviously not right”.}

         _{The fashionista and cosmetologist also made mention of the influx of anybody who gets the opportunity in some media houses trying to} be media personalities or radio presenters and calling themselves journalist is wrong. They lack training and ethics therefore they should use the right part in trying to become journalists.

                Mr. Johnson believes in hard work and with his last words during the interview his advice was that, everyone is passionate with money and if you work hard, God is definitely going to bless you and if you want to be a professional journalist, say what is right and don’t be driven by your belly and don’t be driven by money. If you do it right you get the right reward afterwards.

                 He believes in creativity and thinks that as a journalist, if you can do something different for people to follow your craft that is the turning point. If you decide to follow the trend, you might lose your professionalism and go waste. Its better try new things than get stacked with the old ways. The Media mogul would like to impact more of people in the media if he had the chance to start all over again and also do more to what he has already to make him a unique person among his peers.

YAA JACKSON AND SON

           

                                                                      YAA JACKSON AND SON

 

 

 

  In a couple of pictures circulating on social media that kumawood actress and singer Yaa Jackson has a son is a fake news. The young actress/singer is old enough to have a child but I'm not sure at this point in her career she would have the mindset to bear a child. 

       Born Maame Yaa Jackson is an SHS graduate who completed in the year 2019 and has decided to give a full attention to pursue her music career since she finds much interest in rather than being in school. For what I know, Yaa is a girl who loves to take pictures with her endowed 'sexy' body and would not tarnish that now for having to give birth.

 Although the article has pictures to support the fact that singer has a son, the boy is only a relative of which Yaa Jackson calls him a son.

There was no sort of background research such as interview to confirm that information. no family member or anyone from her camp has come out to approve this story circulating.

     The News circulating is a deep fake news and as a matter of fact, the headline used was a bait to attract viewers on the site. In the write up it was stated clearly that viewers should follow up for more updates. The author I will say is not a professional journalist from how he wrote his article. It has no form and  writing style.

     Researching on other sources, I could not find any story as such. It could be seen clearly that the story was fake and false. In the comment section, viewers who knew the exact truth trolled the author for such an information. Background research I  did about the blogger shows that he/she is not a reliable source and has no facts about the stories being published.

Fake news have become a trend in the society and I urge each and everyone to be careful with sites they find themselves reading.

REVIEW ON SUNDAY

 A review by Betty Owusuwaa. Kumi

    Out of the 22 stories of the larabanga anthology, SUNDAY! seems to be a favorite.

     Ursula M. Abanga in her own style and creativity displays a typical African culture and behavior in her write-up. The settings of the story was in one of the African countries, "Gabon" which I see to be very intelligent of her to choose that.

        The love for Sunday's expressed by the character or narrator is something that goes on in most African homes. "Many people love Sunday's for the reason that after church service, they get to rest throughout the day. It's a day free of any form of stress".

    In a couple of short paragraphs, after introducing Mbakpeem, the writer gives a vivid explanation why Mbakpeem thinks Christianity is a form of slavery from the we white man as to why he despised FR Peter the missionary. "I don't trust the white man and I most certainly don't trust his God". This explains a lot as to how Africans serve “God" in their own way but has decided to follow the white man's way of worship. We adopt that of the white man's culture and throw away our beautiful culture.

    Ursula used a lot of metaphors in describing the characters but they were easy to understand them and I applaud her for that.

     SUNDAY is a story worth reading and recommend it to everyone to read such stories which depict the African home on Sunday's where each and everyone has a role to play in the Kitchen and the family eats together.

This is a good piece by Ursula Abanga.!

A JOURNALIST MAKES HER OWN INCOME -ABA ASAMOAH

 

                

  Online/broadcast journalist Aba Asamoah has explained that a professional journalist's revenue depends on them.

She disclosed this during a press conference for level 400 journalism students at AUCC on Monday February 22.          

According to Ms. Asamoah, journalism pays depending on the connections or links a reporter has with the larger society.

“when you are a principled journalist you don't take sides” she said.

She deplored the situation where journalists are reduced to begging for handouts because media houses do not pay them enough.

The degree holder in Development communication believes in equal rights and uses the broader communication platform to tell stories of the vulnerable to support them one way or the other.

She has no intentions of getting any profits or any sort of benefits from the society. All she aims for is to assist the vulnerable.

Aba Asamoah through her articles has helped people in need of support for surgeries and also scholarships by soliciting donations from people around the world. She has made great impacts on society and is willing to do more.

CRITICISMS NEVER STOPPED ME – Afua boni

             

  Afua boni, the New York City-based Ghanaian-German model/singer/actress, has told journalism students that criticism makes a person better. She said this during a press conference for Level 400 students at AUCC last Monday February 22.

             Born Judith Afua Serwaa Owusu–Afriyie, Boni, the CEO and founder of G.D.M.A., the international modeling agency, said she's dealt with her fair share of racism.

She says being a strong African woman has helped her to stand amidst the emotional and physical criticisms she has received.

“You either learn or get better with critics” she added.

         Afua Boni said modeling is not as easy as it seems. She recalled an incident when there was a problem with her attire for the runway: the shoes she was given to match her dress was too tight. She said she went along and endured the pain.

         Growing up, Boni was a shy child who wanted to be a singer but everything switched after a chance meeting at 14 with celebrity photographer Martina Schilling in Germany. Martina loved her goofiness and took her to the studio. She became cover girl for various magazines and today has graced the runways of the world’s fashion capitals.
