The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has called for the immediate reconstitution of the National Media Commission (NMC) Board to give impetus to media regulation and the promotion of media freedom.
The association said the delays in inaugurating the NMC Board were inimical to media regulation and other issues on the practice of journalism in the country.
The President of GJA, Albert Kwabena Dwumfour, who made the call at a press briefing in Accra on Wednesday, April 23, said all constituents of the NMC must take a keen interest in the reconstitution of the board.
He added that five months after the tenure of the previous board has expired, the GJA had learnt that some of the institutions with representation on the commission had not presented their representatives.
While calling on such institutions to present their representatives to the commission as a matter of urgency, he underscored the need for the NMC to go ahead and swear into office those who were ready.
