Advice to students: be circumspect; avoid politics and superstition


A Ghanaian journalist has some advice for students entering the business:

Mr. Saeed Yakubu, News Editor of Luv FM, a Kumasi-based radio station … urged the students to be circumspect in their writing, when they come out, to avoid any legal suits.

Saeed made reference to a research conducted by the Media Commission, which revealed that radio stations in Kumasi devoted 70% of their airtime to politics and superstition, and advised the students to desist from such practices, by devoting equal attention to all the sectors that would help move Ghana forward.
