Renowned journalist, Komla Adom, has called on journalism students of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) to prioritise credibility and accuracy in their reporting if they hope to thrive in the media industry.
‘Accuracy separates a journalist from a gossip’
Komla emphasised that factual reporting remains the lifeblood of journalism.
“We survive by our sources. Always check who you are quoting and never publish hearsay. Accuracy is what separates a journalist from a gossip.”
He noted that every reporter must understand the importance of verifying both primary and secondary sources, adding that a journalist’s integrity is measured by the truth in their work.
