An independent, credible and vibrant media is a precondition for an open society with transparent and accountable governance processes. For the media to remain free and credible to play their watchdog role effectively, they need to be professional in their work. The Ghanaian media have often been touted as free, but unprofessional media practices remain a source of worry to many. The Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA), therefore, continues its project on"Promoting Professional Standards and Enhancing the Watchdog Role of the Ghanaian Media" to help improve the situation.
