GJA members asked to reflect carefully on impasse

Accra, Sept. 3, GNA - The Private Newspaper Publishers Association of Ghana (PRINPAG) on Wednesday cautioned the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) to reflect carefully about the current impasse following their elections and national awards.

"The PRINPAG calls on the executive and members of GJA to reflect soberly on issues currently confronting them and ensure that their rank is not divided, or taken advantage of by any person or group of persons who do not wish journalists and the media well," PRINPAG said.

A statement signed by the Mrs Gina Blay, President of PRINPAG, reminded all GJA chapters of the consequences of entrenched positions on the outcome of the recent election, saying it would not benefit anyone. PRINPAG wished the GJA well in its extraordinary general meeting, saying it believed that it would remain strong and united. 03 Sept. 03
