Experience shows that the key to quality electoral journalism is preparation. Indeed, the level of preparation by all media outlets and their staff reflected in the scope and standard of coverage unprecedented and unparalleled in the history of Ghana.

The reportorial skills, rhetorical dexterity, analytical acumen, innovative surge and editorial craftsmanship showcased by the Ghanaian media make us exceedingly proud in the eyes of readers, listeners, viewers, international observers and even our critics.

Surely, history holds a unique place for the present generation of editors, reporters and their media houses for their extraordinary passion, inestimable sacrifice and manifest addiction to excel.
The GJA particularly commends TV3, GH One, Joy FM, Citi FM, Peace FM, Adom FM, Asempa FM, UTV, GTV, Radio Ghana, Radio Gold, Oman FM, Daily Graphic, the Mirror, Ghanaian Times, Daily Guide, Ghanaian Chronicle, the Statesman, New Crusading Guide, the Enquirer and others, for their distinctive coverage of the election.
We are also grateful to the spiritual community for their prayers, as well as the general public for their immense support and patronage.
May God Almighty cause the media to ceaselessly flourish and our democracy to endlessly blossom.
