The Multimedia Group's Joy Brands' held a national dialogue on defending media freedom at the GNAT Hall in Accra.

The dialogue, themed "Defending Media Freedom," brought together key stakeholders, including government officials, journalists, and regulators, to discuss strategies that will ensure the press in Ghana is genuinely free to carry out its mandate.
