The embattled editor of the New Punch newspaper who stirred controversy when he confessed to publishing stories that were untrue about the President, John Evans Atta Mills, the then presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress has lashed out at the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) for pronouncing him guilty when they have not heard his side of the story.
Ebenezer Ato Sam, popularly referred to as Baby Ansaba, said the GJA has a hidden agenda and does not worth its name. He said the association could not invite him for the said journalistic blunders he committed but went ahead to issue a statement to the effect that he will be invited to the ethics committee of the GJA. He was speaking on Asempa FM’s current affairs programme “Ekosii Sen?”
Mr. Ato Sam also said what the GJA has done smacks of envy on the part of some senior journalists in the association who have not survived managing their own papers when he as a young journalist has managed to operate a newspaper consistently for the last three years.
The Ghana Journalists Association Wednesday issued a statement to the effect that what the member did was not in conformity with the ethics of the journalism profession.
