The Ghana media Association (GJA) has urged the public to use legal channels rather than violence to address disputes with media.
It claimed that the constitution had established civil channels by which citizens might file lawsuits against journalists whose work they disapproved of.
According to the Association, Article 162(6) of the Constitution of 1992 also gave anybody who felt wronged by a media report the ability to rebut.
Aside from having the option to respond, it stated that anyone who felt wronged might file a defamation lawsuit or petition the National Media Commission, which had been tasked with resolving conflicts between the public and the media.
In contrast to violent assaults, the Association claimed that was the only way to increase media freedom and strengthen the nation’s democracy.
