The statement 'We have the men' seems to have become a political rhetoric. But here at Myjoyonline, that is not the case. Indeed, 'we have the men and women.'
If you have ever wondered who are behind the socio-politico-sports-infotainment stories, here is an opportunity to see the faces of the team that churn out those impactful stories.
At Myjoyonline.com we try to be the best and leave the judgement to our readers to do. Every story published would have been thoroughly reviewed to meet global standards. This is done under the editorial direction of Fiifi Koomson and lately. Isaac Yeboah.
So when the clock strikes 6:00am, whether on a sunny or rainy day, you can be sure that the morning team will be setting off from various parts of Accra with one destination in mind- The Faanofaa road in Kokomlele. Abubakar Ibrahim, Kenneth Awotwe Darko, Nasiba Yakubu, Christian Yalley, Ernest Arhinful, Paa Kwesi Schandorf, Prince Adu-Owusu and Ama Cromwell spruce up the page with exciting stories from across the globe.
People who have to be on the go, thus miss the discussions on the Super Morning Show, AM Show and Prime Morning are sure to get sorted by this team. Front pages of the daily newspapers are captured and shared online as well.
The dissemination of relevant news content continues until members of the afternoon team join at midday. With a full house full of 'the men and women', updates on developing stories are provided.
Our Social Media team led by the indefatigable Mr. Kwaku Kyei, better Known as K-Fresh, also known as 'Papalupapa' are always on hand to ensure that Facebookers, Tweeters and Youtubers are also filled in on relevant info.
Meanwhile, the Sports team- Gary Al-Smith, Nathaniel Attoh, George Addo Jnr, Fentuo Tahiru Fentuo, Mishael Quaynor, Lawrence, Benaiah, Bortey, Muftawu and Mubarak lead the attack in gathering all the sports stories, local and foreign.
Eric Mensah-Ayettey, Emma Ankrah and Raphel Ghartey (the afternoon team) will then pass the baton to the night team; Felicia Osei and Cornerlis Affre. Those who missed PM Express at 9;00pm can be sure that the newsy bits will be on the page by day break.
That should tell you that the website does not sleep and we have all grounds covered. Our colleagues from the regions- Ohemeng Tawiah, Kwasi Debrah, Kofi Adu Domfeh, Prince Appiah, Erastus Asare Donkor, Nana Yaw Gyimah etc, make up the LUV FM and Nhyira FM team from the Ashanti Region. Martina Bugri, Isaac Nongya, Rafiq Salam, Muhammed Nurudeen, Precious Semevor, Ivy Setordjie, Inathalia Quansah and Richard Kwadwo Nyarko bring in the stories from around the country, whether good or bad news.
The contribution of Management and the hardworking JoyNews team add to our sterling performance.
The Hitz FM crew led by Prince Tsegah 'the don', have all the entertainment stories covered. Not forgetting the Joy Entertainment team.
All this is powered by the technology and engineering teams.
David Andoh, the multiple award winning photojournalist is responsible for all the exclusive photo we use to tell our stories.
Like our radio and TV counterparts, the events, when they happen, as they happen, we serve them hot on our portal.
Our elders say, 'good beads don't rattle' so we focus on our job and get it done. Unbeknownst to us, the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIMG) was watching.
On Saturday, 29th October, 2022, the MC at the 33rd CIMG Marketing Performance Awards, finally delivered the news that had been conceived by the Awards Committee of the CIMG for a while now. "And the award goes toooooooooo-Myjoyonline".
He was referring to the 'Online News Portal of the Year Award 2021’ and the beautifully decorated hall of the plush Labadi Beach Hotel will go agog- Hurray!!!
The audience, made up of marketing and communication professionals, business moguls, politicians and people from all walks of life could not help but applaud the team from Faanofaa road as they walked chest up to the stage to pick the plaque, certificate and citation.
In the citation, CIMG wrote, ”In the year under review, you set yourself an agenda to create compelling exciting, enthralling content to attract the largest audience wherever they are, through multiple platforms…”
The CIMG added that, "per the estimation of our evaluators, you are on course per your delivery of exceptional value to advertisers and all other stakeholders.”
At the office on Monday, October 30, 2022, the excitement knew no bounds.
So who are those causing our politicians, people in authority, footballers and celebrities to sit at the edge of their seats all the time?
Okay! The suspense is over, meet the force behind the performance.
