I think Ghana journalism has hit another low point when our major television networks firstly waste a good ten minutes on a phone conversation with a party footsoldier discussing why he believes a certain political figure should run for president, only to then spend just 30-45 seconds on the report of NGOs and Kofi Annan in Kumasi with the camera filming, and missing to acknowledge or even better, interview these world known figures (who knows which other renowned persons may have been there but not in camera view?).
They were in Kumasi as part of the UN Foundation Board of Directors to raise awareness about the immunization against measles, a national programme that will take place between the 3 and 6th of November. I just hope that message about the measles vaccine was clear and got to the general public. After I realised their blunder, I kind of zoned out...and started blogging!

Great piece Maya Mame...I think this reflects the state of Ghana today where annoying politicking is deemed more important that Ghana's development. Sad state of affairs...
Sad indeed. And it keeps going on. With so much focus on the politics behind the mass rape story, Konadu's posters and leaked texts, I wonder what important news we are missing.
