NEWS PAPER REVIEW IS A MAJOR DEVELOPMENT TO OUR DEVELOPMENT- GRAPHIC MD

Ken Ashigbey, Managing Director of the Graphic Communications publishers of the Daily Graphic, The Mirror, Ghanaian Times, Junior Graphic, Graphic showbiz, e.t.c has stated that the newspaper review segment on various electronic media platforms is a major threat to their business and the developmental growth of the country.

He was speaking in an interview with Pink Fm’s Akwasi Addo after the 2015 Graphic Advertisers Awards which was held yesterday at the Aviation Social Center, Accra.

Elaborating his point, Mr. Ken Ashigbey did not only stated that it is a threat to the flourishing of the various newspaper publications but rather a major threat to the development of Ghana since many people do not read anymore but rather depends on the ‘spoon-fed’ segment since the presenters reads out everything to the general public instead of reading some portions of the stories within the publication.

“It is not just a threat to the newspapers, it is a major threat to this country. In the past if you had students who did not read anything at all what you’d find was they would read the newspaper but currently what is happening is that a lot of us are not reading, all we are doing is listening……because we have people on radio stations who will not review the paper but will actually read everything to you” He stated passionately.

He also stated that the Graphic has taken some key steps to reform their operations in other to generate much revenue.

The Graphic Advertisers Awards is an annual event organized by the Graphic Publications to praise its advertising partners.

The event saw some key partners taking home awards in various categories for their instrumental role played in the Graphic’s business flourishing.
