Ghanaian bloggers are set to gain significant support as the chancellor of the University of Mines and Technology, Dr Ernest Ofori Sarpong, has announced a new initiative offering free professional media education. The program aims to enhance the skills of local bloggers, enabling them to contribute more effectively to the country's digital media landscape.
The initiative, part of a broader digital media strategy, will provide training in areas such as content creation, digital storytelling, and media ethics. This comes at a time when online journalism is growing rapidly in Ghana, with many bloggers playing a key role in shaping public discourse.
The chancellor emphasized that the program is designed to empower young professionals and promote quality journalism. By offering free access to training, the university hopes to bridge the gap between traditional media and emerging digital platforms.
The move has been welcomed by industry experts who see it as a step towards greater media diversity and better-informed public engagement.
