Accra \u2013 24 November, 2018.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Media owners and managers in Ghana are struggling; and they appear to shout with one voice, \u2018Are we in business or we are in voluntary service?’.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How can we forget TV Africa?<\/p>\n

Today, it only produces a voice over blended with library files popularly referred to as post production.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another example, is the EIB Media Network of Dr Kwabena Duffuor, former governor of Bank of Ghana and former finance minister.<\/p>\n

It should have been easy, for, having established a bank and an insurance company, his media managers could expect a ready-made client base that their marketing teams could readily lobby for business promotion and advertising revenue.<\/p>\n

But now that uniBank’s license has been withdrawn, will it be too farfetched to anticipate the financial and human resource challenges that EIB Media Network is going through?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What about Viasat 1? Their glory days could at best be likened to a cameo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In short, generating good quality locally produced news, entertainment and documentary programs is not our forte.<\/p>\n

Allowing every exuberant “presenter” or “producer” on air so long as they have a sponsor is certainly not a sustainable way to run a media house! Too bad!<\/p>\n

An important starting place to assist our media managers to reboot is Herman and Chomsky’s thoughts on what the media bring to us.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In “Manufacturing Consent; The Political Economy of the Mass Media,” Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky gave five filters which media managers use to determine what they should produce for consumers.<\/p>\n

Advertising, sourcing, flak, ownership and ideology of anticommunism (aka who is the common enemy) were determined by the authors as the constant parameters or guideposts which inform decision making in media houses.<\/p>\n

In subsequent publications and interviews, Noam Chomsky has been very firm and resolute in his condemnation of the manufacturing of consent by a few men and women sitting in boardrooms and deciding what media content should be presented to humanity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The big question is not whether you agree with Chomsky or not.<\/p>\n

However, it will be helpful if each media manager engaged and assessed how these filters impact on his current practice within Ghana.<\/p>\n

Is sport and entertainment broadcast a safe bet then? Not necessarily.<\/p>\n

Can you deliver world-class nonpolitical news in Ghana?<\/p>\n

Yes, if you have a clearly defined editorial policy \u2013 written and displayed to staff and the public, and rigorously implemented.<\/p>\n

How about non-religious news and nonreligious broadcasts? Ditto.<\/p>\n

Can a media house criticise big business and yet go to them for business promotion and advertising revenue?<\/p>\n

Why not?<\/p>\n

And If they are going to be emotional about your having criticized them on your airwaves, tell them to simply do the right thing.<\/p>\n

Tell them their PR team can always prepare an adequate response.<\/p>\n

Journalism is a social good; it affords all persons the world over an opportunity to enjoy the inalienable rights of freedom of thought and conscience.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When practised at the highest standards journalism has the capacity to enlighten both the hearts and minds of its individual consumers.<\/p>\n

Having identified and established the parameters within which media can work effectively, what management model is therefore appropriate?<\/p>\n

Whichever management model is adopted, it is important to remember that it must be based on sound practical knowledge grounded in a first class apprenticeship at a media house steeped in international best practice.<\/p>\n

Anything else including an alphabet soup of academic credentials will simply not fly.<\/p>\n
