NMC pays working visit to New Times Corp.

 The newly constituted National Media Commission (NMC) on Wednesday paid a familiari­sation tour of the New Times Cor­poration (NTC), publishers of The Ghanaian Times, and The Spectator newspapers.

The team was received by the NTC’s Board of Directors and an In­terim Management Committee (IMC) put in place to supervise the opera­tions of the Corporation.

The tour offered a platform to engage, know at first hand challenges of the corporation and meet the IMC, currently managing the operations of the Corporation.

Professor Kwamena Kwansah – Aidoo, Chairman of the Board, supported by Mr Kwesi Kersi, a Board Member and Chairman of the IMC, led the group on the tour to the var­ious offices and inspection of some facilities while interacting with a few members of staff.

In a short address, the Chairperson of the NMC, Professor Akua Opokua Britwum, urged the NTC to em­brace new media while keeping its mandate as traditional print media institution.

This, she emphasised, could increase the corporation’s revenue and also help meet the needs of its targeted audience nationwide.

The Editor of The Spectator, Mrs Georgina Naa- Maku Quaittoo, ex­plained its structure and operations to the members, noting that although it was under staffed, yet it was still able to meet production timeline.

The Editor of The Ghanaian Times, Alhaji Salifu Abdul-Rahaman, in his remarks, pledged the loyalty of the staff to the enhancement of the Cor­poration’s operations.
