The journalists will receive their awards at the ceremony, which would culminate on 25th edition of the awards program, at the Movenpick Ambassadors Hotel in Accra.
In announcing the list of honorees on Monday, the chair of the awards committee, Betty Appau-Oppong, maintained that this year’s edition was to ‘identify journalists who had distinguished themselves in their various fields of practice in 2019, as well as to those who stood out this year (2020) by reporting on the coronavirus pandemic.
This year’s ceremony is themed “Covid-19 and a credible presidential and parliamentary election.”
On the sidelines of the short ceremony to announce the winners, GJA President Roland Affail Monney congratulated the nominees and urged those who submitted stories but were not shortlisted to work hard in order to win next year.
