The National Media Commission (NMC) has advised media outlets to engage their stakeholders and audience when they face issues of professional standards.
According to the Commission, this would help to create an environment that promotes peaceful coexistence.
The advice came after the commission resolved two complaints that were brought to its attention.
The complaints were between the Avenor Traditional Council and Shine FM in Akatsi, and between Alidu Seidu and Yussif Abdul Ganiyu and Zuria FM 88.7 in Kumasi.
In a statement signed by the NMC’s Deputy Executive Secretary, Alexander Bannerman, the commission said that in both cases, the parties agreed to settle their differences amicably and to work together for the development of their communities.
“The parties expressed their commitment to peace and pledged to use the radio stations in the communities to enhance their co-existence.The parties said that unity was a good step to repair their strained relationships and to send a signal that they are together to build peace,” the statement said.
The commission commended the parties for their exemplary display of magnanimity and leadership qualities within the communities in which they live.
