The study also acknowledges the challenges faced by the media in Ghana, including authoritarianism and the influence of international companies on electoral politics. The study suggests that the growing literacy and access to digital technologies offer fresh opportunities for media development, but also highlights the need for good journalists to filter fact from fiction and report accurately, fairly, and freely. Overall, the feasibility study emphasizes the need for a fund to support media markets that work for democracy and empower citizens to make informed decisions.
