The Media Department of Citizen Eye Ghana is the organizationâs communication and advocacy powerhouse. In a democracy like Ghanaâs, where citizen engagement and access to credible information are critical to governance, the role of media cannot be downplayed. Unfortunately, misinformation, biased reporting, and lack of civic education often hinder citizens from participating effectively in national discourse. The CITEG Media Department was established to counter these challenges by providing a trusted platform for truth, accountability, and citizen voices.
Through radio, television, print, and digital platforms, CITEG Media produces content that informs, educates, and empowers Ghanaians. The department runs civic education campaigns, investigative programs, and advocacy initiatives that expose corruption, highlight social challenges, and promote national dialogue. By leveraging both traditional and modern media channels, CITEG Media ensures that information reaches Ghanaians in urban centers as well as rural communities.
A unique aspect of the department is its emphasis on citizen journalism. It trains ordinary citizens to become credible reporters of issues in their communitiesâbe it environmental degradation, human rights abuses, or governance failures. This approach not only gives voice to the voiceless but also fosters inclusivity in Ghanaâs media landscape.
In addition to watchdog journalism, the Media Department also creates positive narratives that celebrate Ghanaian culture, innovation, and resilience. It partners with civil society organizations, schools, and policymakers to drive conversations that shape policies and influence change.
Ultimately, the CITEG Media Department envisions a society where every citizen has access to accurate information and is empowered to hold leaders accountable. It is not just about telling stories; it is about transforming lives through communication.
