Airtel Ghana will sponsor this year’s ‘Best Reporter – Education (Print Category)’ at the 17th Ghana Journalists Association awards scheduled for later this year.
The package from Airtel Ghana will go into the purchase of a laptop among others for the winner of the category.
Head of Corporate Communications and External Affairs of Airtel Ghana, Donald Gwira presented the cheque for GH¢3,500 to the GJA at the press centre at a short ceremony recently.
Gwira explained that education is one of the main pillars that drive Airtel Ghana’s corporate social responsibility initiatives.
“We at Airtel Ghana believe that by supporting the best journalist in education we are supporting the growth of the journalistic field,” he said.
Gwira also explained that Airtel Ghana views the media in Ghana as partners but not necessarily as a conduit for dissemination of information.
He added that “we are constantly striving to strengthen the relationship between us through a number of approaches and the support to the GJA is certainly one of the key approaches.”
Affail Monney, Vice President of the Ghana Journalists Association, welcomed Airtel on board the GJA awards and expressed the hope that Airtel will stay on as sponsors as one of its contributions to the growth of the media industry.
He thanked Airtel Ghana for their involvement.
