The Host of the Morning Show on Accra-based Peace FM, Kwami Sefa Kayi, has advised his colleagues in the media to learn to accommodate criticisms.

Speaking on JoyNews' PM Express Personality Profile on Friday, the 'Kokrokoo' presenter expressed surprise about the attitude of journalists particularly, the young ones.

He bemoaned the increasing spate of dislike for being critiqued amongst journalists in the country.

"I think we've become very opinionated, which is good in some breath but sometimes we think we know it all. I noticed a lot of us journalists and media practitioners don't like to be critiqued.

"We think that we know it all and we think that the moment we have an opinion that should be the overriding opinion," he told host Ayisha Ibrahim.

According to him, the press plays a critical role in the governance of the country, however, journalists must learn to accommodate criticism when they are in the wrong.

"We can't be right all the time. We should learn to be able to accept that much as we critique others, others will critique us.

"The fact that we are the Fourth Estate of the Realm, the fact that we watch the watchman doesn't mean that we will always get it right. So we should also be able to accept criticism," he said.

However, Mr Kayi was against the verbal and physical abuse of journalists.

In his view, "If you disagree with my views, defeat me with superior argument. Don't defeat me with threats and insults".
