The Ghanaian media is being urged to take a keen interest in reporting about corruption.
Anti corruption campaigners say the quality of reporting is low.
That is according to a research by the Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition.
Its latest research on some selected media houses, mainly the print and online reveals this.
The research covers a period of six months – January to June this year.
In an interview with Joy News the Executive Secretary of the Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition, Florence Dennis, advised the media to conduct investigations into some of the issues they report.
“We realized the media’s role in the fight against corruption should be looked in terms of the quality and content of the report of issues that they present,” she said, adding, many of the stories are based on mere reportage without any thorough investigation.
She advised that the media must try to follow-up on what mandated anti-corruption institutions are doing on key issues of corruption in order to help fight the canker.
