Outstanding journalists from across the country and media houses were honoured at the 27th Ghana Journalist Association (GJA) Awards.
The event took place at the Accra International Conference Centre on Sunday, October 29, 2023, under the theme, “Leveraging media freedom to sustain the democratic and security architecture: The litmus test of Election 2024.”
Key among the honourees was Multimedia’s Erastus Asare Donkor who bagged the P.A.V Ansah Journalist of the Year 2022.
The journalist who is known for his selfless journalistic art on illegal mining activities also took home Best Reporter on Illegal Mining.
His citation reads, “You demonstrated outstanding quality in journalism standards in the year 2022, capping it with the three-part destruction-for-gold documentary. In that work, you exposed the greed and some characters behind the wanton destruction of the environment. There is no doubt that you served your country in this way, bringing attention to a menace threatening to consume the nation. For your sterling journalistic work and the boldness you exhibited in the discharge of a cardinal duty in the interest of the nation, the Ghana Journalists Association is proud to honour you with the PAV Ansah Journalist of the Year Award.”
The award scheme is in line with Article three of the Association’s Constitution “to promote professionalism and high journalistic standards and reward and honour outstanding members periodically”.
