Fresh pack of seven resign at Multimedia
Award-winning journalist, Seth Kwame Boateng; Editor of myjoyonline.com, Malik Abass Daabu, and General Manager of the Joy cluster of the Multimedia Group are among the latest to have resigned from the media conglomerate.
Theghanareport.com sources say Seth Kwame Boateng has moved to the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA).
He has explained, he will be doing the work at the NHIA and still combine it with his work at Multimedia.
Editor of the online department of Joy FM, Malik Daabu has also resigned. Mr. Daabu left early this year to take up a new role as head of Public Relations at the Ghana Maritime Authority.
Until his resignation, he served as Joy FM’s in-house political analyst. He had also been moved to head the investigative desk following the resignation of Manasseh Azure Awuni last year.
The General Manager of the Joy Cluster (radio and TV), Ms. Emma Morrison, has also resigned according to theghanareport.com’s sources.
Affectionately called Ms. Mo, the fine brain bid her colleagues goodbye on her birthday, June 5, 2020. She is set to pursue her private dreams.
She served in various capacities before her departure from the Kokomlele-based media house.
On-air personalities including, Emmanuel Aboagye Wiafe, Norvan Acquah Hayford, Philip Nanfuri, all from Joy Business, have also left the Multimedia Group this year.
Another on-air personality to have left Multimedia is Sports journalist, Benedict Owusu. The award-winning sports journalist is now a service provider for Joy FM.
The Multimedia Group Limited (MGL) in recent times has been slapped with a wave of resignations from some of its big names.
As many resigned, the company also laid off some of its employees. Actress and media personality, Naa Ashorkor was one of the casualties.
This is what happens when you deliberately become a puppet to a certain men in power.
Manasseh, Im sure you can let us in on the “why” behind the resignations
Please go to YouTube and watch magreheb Tv. He has chronicled everything.
The reasons though
Multimedia is obviously re-strategizing to deal with the challenges of the future. The real professionals, Malik, Emma Morrison and Co, have made their contribution and should have no problems moving forward. But people like Captain Smart and Nana Yaa Brifo owe their popularity to Multimedia. They have no journalistic skills. What investigative or presentation skills does the arrogant Captain Smart have. Multimedia is an organization that has made a huge impact on media development in Ghana, and I believe they have great plans ahead
Joy fm’s mrn show was the toast during my uni days (2004-2008). They seemed to have lost this quality and overtaken by Citi fm led my Benard Avle. The only programme I still listen and watch is Newsfile. Don’t knw what went wrong but they need to sit up and restrategize.
Exactly
It is called The Kojo Liar Oppong Nkrumah Wave now blowing. When the wicked rules, the land is farmished. Not even rains come, and when they do, they are a disaster and tragedy to the people. Life, they say, is water. But too much of anything, is bad.
Stop fooling you punk! How was Joy FM when Kojo was the host of the Super Morning Show? It’s infantile to rob Kojo in your bogus argument. Wise up cos you ain’t growing any younger.
Kojo Yangson has driven away all the numorous listeners with his polical sentimental handling of programs. He single handly collapse and killed the love we all had for the Super Morning Show.
Multimedia will breakdown if this continue.
Multimedia has the capability to train and retain another set of brilliant youngsters, like those who left, Ghana is able to produce young professional journalist from GIJ.
Just listen to Citi CBS and you will be okay.
MGL always find the best replacement. Captain smart replacement is a perfect one
The result of slanting questions to trick the ignorant to answer what you want them to answer, that’s what Yankson does with his good, British English. But all to no reasonable end but for his salary, after all,he had once said, “we talk to eat”, that Chinchinga Yankson.
Seth , Malik and all Comrades who left for higher calling , you guys have paid your dues. I hope we the youth will learn from that blue print you left behind.
