New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary candidate for the Ofoase-Ayirebi, Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah has advised media practitioners not to glory in the acclamations they get from the public.

According to him, management of media houses and journalists across the nation should not take pride in the praises showered on them and use it as an excuse to misbehave in their line of duty.

Mr. Oppong-Nkrumah was commenting on the Montie FM cum Supreme Court contempt case saga on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo'.

With nearly 9 years of practice as a radio presenter, the former host of Joy FM's Morning show left a good imprint in the minds of his listeners and the entire nation as one of the finest and dignified media practitioners.

He did his work with caution, respecting the laws governing his profession and the country, and left an indelible mark on the media landscape.

Alluding to his heydays as a media practitioner, he noted that sometimes it is easy for a presenter to be carried away by the praise-singing from admirers of his or her works, causing that individual to feel like an 'Agyemang'; to wit an invincible person.

He therefore appealed to all media practitioners in the country to learn lessons from the experience of the contemnors saying "don't let the ‘fans’ we’re giving you enter your head and feel you’re an 'Agyemang'. For there is law in this country . . . I plead with our colleague journalists, station managers, station owners that broadcast journalism is very slippery; we use it to play music, for education and use it for learning lessons . . . So, presenters, owners or producers should all take a cue from what’s happening.”

Also on the panel was Professor Kofi Agyekum, Dean of the School of Performing Arts at the University of Ghana, who counseled that media practitioners should learn to apply the art of euphemism and speaking in parables to sift their diction and media craft.
