Vodafone Ghana has joined a number of corporate organisations to sponsor this year’s Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) awards.
This year’s event, which is 23rd edition, provides the platform to celebrate brilliant and deserving journalists in various categories of reporting in the country.
The telecommunications company is sponsoring the ICT and Digital Journalist of the Year category since it has a direct linkage to its core business of technology and telecommunications.
The year’s event explores the theme, “State of Investigative Journalism – Boundaries of Privacy and Borders of Public Interest.”
It will take place on October 27, 2018 at the Kempinski Hotel in Accra.
President Akufo-Addo is expected to be the special guest of honour at the event.
Commenting, Ebenezer Amankwah, Corporate Relations Manager at Vodafone Ghana said: “The business we are in relies heavily on the work of the media in our storytelling efforts. They remain a very important part of what we do. We regard our partnership with the Ghana Journalists Association as an ongoing relationship that continues to yield benefits for both parties.”
Vodafone donated a cheque for GH¢10,000 for the journalist that will emerge the best in that category.
