How the leading Media organizations used website to report 2020's General Elections in Ghana

-

 Introduction

I have been monitoring how some leading media outlets in Ghana, i.e 3news,Citinewsroom, Myjoyonline and Peacefmonline, are capturing outcome of the elections on their websites.
Why website?
I deem websites more credible, secured and referenceable than social media posts.
Findings:
3news
The website claims update is done every second but there is no data in their designated portals. Infact, the contrary is the case.



Citinewsroom
The case is no different from Citinewsroom. Their Election Bureau portal takes forever to load. Data entry is non existent.
Myjoyonline:
Cumbersome and chequered. Not navigable, making it difficult for one to interpret the data therein.
Peacefmonline.com
I doff my hat for Peacefmonline. They have been a Masterclass in election coverage. Their website is creditably navigable and up to speed.

7 Tips for Choosing a great brand Name and Slogan for your Business

-
  In my freelancing journey, I have encountered many people, whose brilliant business ideas, are usually punctuated by their inability to choose the right names, slogan and sometimes logos for their businesses. Some of the people I have consulted for in this respect usually get stuck, when confronted with the duty of choosing the right brand name for their product or service. This invariably served to delay the full operationalization of their business. In the process, some great business ideas are left uncultivated, with some being abandoned. These individuals are not least unclear about what product or services they need to produce. Usually, what they are not too sure of is how to select the right name and slogan, and sometimes logo for their business. Why Is A Great Name and Slogan Important To Product/Service? The right name or slogan for your product or service is important. Not only is that key for purposes of identification, also the right name and slogan aids recall of ...

  It appears the sustained efforts to stifle the operations of Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited, will not end soon. It would be recalled that following the recommendations from the KPMG report on the GRA-SML contract, the President directed that SML be made to continue its operations in the downstream petroleum sector, as its much-needed services has led to an incremental revenue in Ghana’s downstream petroleum sector. In keeping with the President’s directive, Ghana Revenue Authority in a letter, directed SML to resume its downstream revenue monitoring and assurance operations, effective June 14, 2024. The June 12, 2024, letter from the GRA to the Bulk Oil Distributors partly reads: “We wish to inform you that Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML) has been directed to resume its monitoring operations of the Downstream Petroleum sector with effect from 14th June 2024 in accordance with the Presidential Directives on the KPMG report.’’ However, just when SML resumed ope...

Six ACID TESTS FOR ASSESSSING YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE ‘‘You are the light of this world: A city that is set on heal cannot be hidden.’’ Matthew 5:14 Having a brand presence Having a presence on social media differ from being present on social media. Indeed, just because someone is in a place does not mean they are fully and actively alive in that location. In the real world, there could be several reasons for which a person may enter a place. Some people may be at an event by just accompanying their friends and not truly knowing anyone at the said event. These people, under this circumstance, are usually tensed, recoiling to their shells, except they have an exceptionally outgoing personality, which make them cry louder than the bereaved. While everyone can be present on social media, not everyone can have social media presence. Social media presence is about having a standing and not just a status. In this piece, I am painstakingly relating how these two constructs differ. ...
