University media chief attacks Ghana journalism

Where have we heard this before? The standards of journalism in Ghana are falling, says the head of the school of communications at the University of Ghana. Dr Bonnah Koomson complains that people aren't buying papers, or listening to news on the radio. Meanwhile, journalists show more interest in attending scheduled events than in spending time on investigations. It's like an eerie echo of the problems facing papers in the United States and Britain. The oddity is that it's happening in a developing country, where we expect papers to be so vibrant.
