Media management is the practice of directing and controlling media-related businesses and business functions.
A postgraduate programme in media management is a virgin area ready to be tapped since this critical resource training is unavailable at the local level.
When implemented, it will provide higher skills acquisition and knowledge to the men and women who are managing the media as well as the future generation of media practitioners aspiring to become media owners and managers.
As Ghana’s constitutional democracy is crystallising, it is incumbent on the various players in the media industry to scale new heights by inculcating good management practices into the industry.
This greater efficiency will make them remain relevant and financially solvent in order to contribute to the building of liberal democratic architecture.
A Master’s Degree in Media Management is essential to professional development of the media and its sustainability.
