MFWA to monitor 70 radio stations for hate speech

The Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) has launched  its 2016 Campaign Language Monitoring Project to monitor and report hate speech on 70 radio stations across the country.

 

The project, “Promoting Decent Language and Issues-based Campaigning for Peaceful Elections in Ghana in 2016," will also ensure Ghanaians are guided and measured in their language use on the airwaves before, during and after the November 7 polls.

According to the MFWA, the monitoring will be done over a nine-month period with reports being issued every two weeks.

Other components of the project are public education on avoidance of hate speech and indecent campaign language, and advocating for professional media conduct that fosters issues-based discussions, the MFWA has said.

Below is the full list of radio stations to be monitored:
