The National Democratic Congress has lashed out at the Daily Graphic for what they refer to as gross discrimination against the party.
A release signed by Koku Anyidoho head of Communications of the Atta Mills campaign team says the biased reportage by the Daily Graphic in favour of the NPP’s flag bearer, is reaching an unacceptable crescendo.
According to him, stories sent to the Paper from Professor Mills’ office are not hitting the pages.
“We know it for a fact that, apart from the Political Editor of the Daily Graphic taking a keen interest in the activities of Nana Akufo-Addo and his wife, stories sent to the paper from the outfit of the NPP flag bearer, get published with gusto.”
Mr. Anyidoho cited stories about the recent tours of Mrs. Naadu Mills, to some markets in Accra which he claimed have not been published.
“We are prepared to provide irrefutable evidence that the Daily Graphic received the stories and pictures but refused to publish them.” The statement said.
On the contrary, dead stories about the wife of Rebecca Akufo-Addo, are constantly published by the Daily Graphic.
The statement agrees that the Daily Graphic has the right to exercise its discretion, but added the exercise of such discretion is becoming nauseating.
“Indeed, a couple of weeks ago, the Center for Media Analysis, headed by Dr. Messan Mawugbe, after doing a detailed content analysis of the Daily Graphic, came out with a report pointing to the fact that the NPP and Nana Akufo-Addo are getting more coverage than the NDC and Professor Atta Mills, as well as other political parties and the Leaders of those parties.”
The statement cautioned the editor of the paper Ransford Tetteh to know that the Daily Graphic does not belong to the NPP and he must also know that he is being paid to serve the national interest and not the interest of the NPP.
“We also want Ransford Tetteh to know that, whether he gives Professor Mills fair coverage or not, Professor Atta Mills shall be the next President of the Republic of Ghana.”
“However, we are asking Ransford Tetteh to do what is right and proper, as Ghana grows its democratic dispensation.”
The statement commended the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation for its fair approach to giving Professor Atta Mills the needed space and hoped that the middle line approach by the national broadcaster, will not wane.
