A gist about Ghanaian media.

Basically from the little knowledge I have acquired from a media lecture  or discussion, I know that media is defined as the  storage  and transmission channels or tools used to store and deliver information or data. In my own words however, I define media as the  channels through which information is disseminated to an audience.

Newspaper, television, radio and the internet are typical examples of media. Some examples of popular media include; British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Cable News Network (CNN), Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) just to mention but a few.

Narrowing down to Ghana, some examples of media houses include; Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC), Metropolitan Television (Metro TV), TV 3, Daily Graphic, Ghana News Agency (GNA), Ghanaian Times, Daily Guide, Joy FM, Unique FM, Citi FM, Radio Gold, Peace FM just to mention but a few.

                                     

Some Ghanaian Media

These media houses usually perform the role of educating, informing and entertaining their audiences in Ghana and beyond. Most of these media houses report on issues such as politics, entertainment, business, sports and many other important issues. Some of these media houses are either owned by the government or by private individuals.

As part of the educative role of the media in Ghana, the media telecasts educative  programmes  such as quizzes. In informing its audiences, the media telecasts news virtually every day to let the citizens know about the latest happenings in the country. In entertaining its audiences, the media telecasts programmes such as movies and music videos.
