The 27th edition of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) Awards came off on Sunday, October 29 at the Accra International Conference Centre.
This year’s award, on the theme, “Leveraging Media Freedom to Sustain the Democratic and Security Architecture: The Litmus Test of Election 2024” has the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission Jean Mensa as the guest speaker.
In all, the nominees span across 34 categories including the ultimate award winner, P.A.A Ansah Journalist of the Year, which went to the Multimedia’s Group Erastus Asare Donkor.
A number of categories including Sports, News (Online), News (Radio), and Photojournalism, however, couldn’t produce winners as they failed to meet the criteria.
