The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has secured the bid to host the 6th Continental Congress of the Federation of African Journalists (FAJ). This decision was made unanimously by the FAJ Steering Committee during their meeting in Accra. The Congress aims to determine FAJ's program and priorities, elect its leadership for the next term, and engage with solidarity organizations.
The challenges faced by African journalists, such as attacks on media freedom, labor rights violations, and economic pressures, prompted this decision. Ghana has already hosted the FAJ Steering Committee meeting, and FAJ leaders met with President John Dramani Mahama to discuss media freedom and the role of journalism in Africa's democratic agenda.
FAJ President Omar Faruk Osman emphasized the need for stronger professional journalism and collective action to address the challenges. GJA President Albert Kwabena Dwumfour highlighted the welfare and working conditions of journalists, calling for measures to enhance their safety and professional security. The Steering Committee also approved the Federation's financial and independent audit reports, admitted four new journalist organizations, and adopted a new communication strategy to increase the visibility of the Pan-African journalists' movement.
