Journalism placements in Ghana - Election Special

Work with a team of Ghanaian journalists to cover the build up to parlimentary and presidential elections in Ghana on December 7th 2008

Ghana has been a shining beacon in Africa and as been praised by both international and domestic observers for holding free, fair and transparant elections.

You now have the opportunity to be part of the media team that will cover the build-up to the elections in Ghana on December the 7th.

Like most things, Ghanaians do their electioneering and campaigning a little differently to us at home. You will have the opportunity to work for TV and radio media as the main parties travel to the villages and towns of the Central and Western Regions to campaign for votes amongst a population that is well educated and informed about all the hot topics of the day.

Ghana is fortunate to boast a media that is relatively free to report without restriction, so this is a unique opportunity to be involved in reporting on the electoral process in an African democracy.

As a result, most Ghanaians have very strong opinions on the hot topics and issues of the day and they're not shy about expressing their opinions!

This is certain to be a colourful and lively election process and you have the opportunity to be involved in reporting on it! You can work in our print media placements in the capital city Accra or in broadcast media at our TV and radio placements in Cape Coast.

You can choose your dates but we recommend programmes starting from the beginning of November.
