Broadcasting in Ghana
There used to be a lot of tension and oppression in the media landscape, now there is a reasonable amount of freedom and the industry is growing fast. A lot of Radio and TV stations are coming into the system every day. The internet has helped a lot in the promotion of broadcast media in Ghana. With 4G internet speed now in the system there is a lot of speed and clarity in the search for information generally. What the broadcast media houses have now gone into is promoting their programs online VIA social media and developing soft wares and apps for their media houses which makes them very accessible. Now newspapers have also gone online and are now on our tabloids, by simply getting the software or app of the newspaper you can access whatever is on the papers on your phone or computer. So basically you can say internet is a big game changer in the broadcast world. As the saying goes, “the world is now a global village”, and it’s the internet that has made this possible. Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ) was the first ever school established in Africa for the training of journalists. Now you look around and there are a lot of professional journalism schools around. The future is very bright for broadcast journalism in Ghana.
My First Blog Post
Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.
— Oscar Wilde.
This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.
Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
