Clinton Yeboah wins two honors at GJA Ashanti regional media awards

Clinton Yeboah, a journalist with the Multimedia Group, has secured two prestigious honors at the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) Ashanti Regional Media Excellence Awards. Yeboah was named the winner in both the Best in Health Journalism and Best in Business and Economy Journalism categories. The recognition highlights his versatility and commitment to addressing critical social and economic issues affecting the region and the nation.

The award for health journalism recognized Yeboah's sensitive and impactful reporting on obstetric fistula. His work brought to light the significant health challenges and social stigma faced by women suffering from the condition, advocating for better medical support and increased public understanding. The report was specifically lauded for its depth and its focus on a vulnerable segment of the population that often lacks a platform in mainstream media.

In the business and economy category, Yeboah was honored for his comprehensive analysis of the Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy). His coverage explored the practical implications of the tax on mobile money users, particularly how it reshaped financial habits within the Ashanti Region. By breaking down the policy's effect on daily transactions, the report provided a clear perspective on the economic burden felt by ordinary Ghanaians and small-scale traders.

Reflecting on his success, Yeboah emphasized the importance of sustained public engagement with the issues raised in his reports, noting that the true value of journalism lies in its power to provoke meaningful change. He extended his gratitude to his colleagues for their support throughout his professional journey and celebrated the collective impact of the media in the Ashanti Region. The awards ceremony serves as a benchmark for excellence, encouraging journalists to continue pursuing high-impact storytelling.
