The DW Akademie has sympathised with the friends, family and colleagues of deceased General Manager of Joy Brands, Elvis Koku Kwashie.
Mr. Kwashie who passed on December 28, according to a Senior Consultant of DW Akademie, Beates Weide, was a “brilliant thinker and analyst of the political and societal situation of his country.”
“He was an excellent media professional with high quality and ethical standards, a responsible, open-minded, and visionary leader.”
“The way he cared about his team and always tried to strengthen the team’s professional skills showed his high ambitions for an impactful journalism and his outstanding personality. Every discussion with him was such a pleasure,” she added in a letter of condolence on behalf of the DW Akademie team.
Elvis Kwashie was a seasoned professional with more than two decades of experience in media and communications; spanning print, online, radio and television.
He had rich experience in recruiting, grooming, coaching and supervising reporters and correspondents across the country.
Under his strong leadership, JoyNews has won more than 100 awards in the last 10 years, including two CNN African Journalist of the Year awards.
“We are very grateful for having had the opportunity to collaborate with him and we will always remember him as a wonderful person. Please know that our thoughts are with you and his loved ones at this sad time and that we share in your grief,” the letter concluded.
