  Oh God, as if you were on my mind, its a subject l have been mulling about for long. Great write-up. The latest victim must be supported by Joy FM to sue the goons.

  The fact that you are doing your work does not give you a special right over other rights.Rules and regulations must be followed and accreditation means complying with the terms and conditions in it.

  Some journalist think that to describe themselves as journalists come with privilege to behave anyhow.That is lawlessness and this is a country of law and order that means nobody is above the law including journalist,Every right must come with responsibility and I am afraid you can not attribute that to Ghanaian journalists.
  
  A journalists privilege comes under the assumption of public interest news gathering and not one paid by an opposition to undermine authority and chill development.The public interest test must prevail over journalistic privilege and that means respecting the journalistic code of ethics.

  WELL SAID OKONKWO. THE WRITER JUST GAVE US A GLIMPSE OF THE MINDSET OF GHANAIAN JOURNALISTS. HE SAID: WE HAVE POWER. THAT IS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. POWER IN THE HANDS OF THE WRONG PEOPLE IS USUALLY ABUSED AND THAT IS WHAT PREVAILS IN GHANAIAN JOURNALISM AND ESPECIALLY THE MULTIMEDIA GROUP. PEOPLE WHO DEFY THE ETHICS OF THEIR PROFESSION TO PUSH THE AGENDA OF CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS. TAKE SIDES AND PRESENT SKEWED REPORTAGE WHEN THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO PRESENT FACTS. SHOW ATTITUDE TO MINISTERS OF STATE AND DENIGRATE THEM IF THEY ARE PAID BACK IN THEIR OWN COIN. VINDICTIVE JOURNALISM ETC. UNBRIDLED POWER BREEDS ARROGANCE, CONTEMPT AND TOTAL LACK OF RESPECT FOR OTHERS. HAVE WE NOT HEARD OF THEIR COUNTRY MAN SONGOS, BLAKRASTAS ETC, MISBEHAVING ON A DAILY BASIS ON THEIR AIRWAVES? MAKING FALSE ACCUSATIONS ET ALL. THIS PIECE WAS WRITTEN BECAUSE THE ALLEGED ASSAULT WAS COMMITTED BY PEOPLE BELIEVED TO BE AFFILIATED TO THE NDC. ELEMENTS OF THE NPP HAVE CARRIED OUT ATTACKS ON JOURNALISTS FROM MULTIMEDIA BUT THEY WERE MUTE. MATCETTE, STICKS AND STONE WIELDING SUPPORTERS OF THE NPP ATTACKED ASEMPA FM AND GUESTS OF EKO SII SEN DURING THE TIME OF BOBIE. WHAT DID THEY DO? BOBIE THE HOST WAS SACKED, BECAUSE HE WAS PERCEIVED TO BE SUPPORTING AN ANTI-MULTIMEDIA PARTY. YOU MAY HAVE POWER BUT KNOW THAT THE GREATEST POWER OF THE LAND BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE. IT IS TRUE INDEED WHEN THE WRITER SAYS: Blame no one but journalists for the unabated assaults on them. HE COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER.
