Philip Osei Bonsu Named Ghana’s Journalist of the Year

What changed

Philip Osei Bonsu, host of Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen, was named the P.A.V. Ansah Journalist of the Year at the 30th Ghana Journalists Association Media Awards in Ghana. The programme also won Best Ghanaian Language Radio Programme for the year under review.

Why it matters

The double award recognises both the journalist and the platform he uses: a Ghanaian-language radio programme built around national conversations and high-profile interviews. It also signals that public-policy influence and meaningful change can be shaped through radio, not only through formal political or institutional channels.

For Ekosii Sen, the prize strengthens its standing as a place where major issues are discussed in a language that reaches its listeners directly. For Bonsu, it turns that work into the defining journalistic recognition of the awards.
