Media Ownership and Its Influence on Journalism practice
17 July 2025
The advent of Ghana’s Fourth Republic in 1992 brought with it a significant transformation in the country's media landscape. In fact, the promulgation of the 1992 Constitution, particularly Chapter 12, marked a pivotal moment in the history of press freedom in Ghana. The chapter explicitly guarantees the freedom and independence of the media, outlawing censorship and promoting a pluralistic media environment. As a result, Ghana’s media space witnessed an unprecedented expansion characterized by liberalization, diversity, and plurality.
