The capital of
Ghana, Accra, is a great place to either start
or broaden your career in journalism. As the centre
of politics and official life in a key democratic
West African state, there is always something
worth writing about. Most of our Journalism Internship
volunteers live and work in the city of Accra
which is famous for its lively nights and h
On our
Print Journalism placements you get not only an
insider's view of how publications are run, but
also the chance to put together an impressive
portfolio. Alternatively, a Radio or TV journalism
placement offers you the chance to gain broadcasting
or production experience.
You will get an insight into the workings of the
media in a new cultural and political setting
whilst also gaining invaluable work experience
which will enhance your CV and increase your prospects
within the highly competitive journalism industry
Choice FM, Radio Peace and Radio Atlantic are
just some of the stations where our volunteers
have been placed. Some stations offer predominantly
talk-based shows, while others focus on community
programming, news and music. Take part in a radio
journalism placement and you could find yourself
on air on your first or second day!
All stations are broadcast to a large audience
and are very popular - volunteers have been recognised
on the streets of Accra from the sound of their
voices! You might help produce a show, read the
news, participate in debates and talk-shows, or
go out on the streets to ask people for their
views on specific topics. One volunteer recently
had his own sports programme to present. Be eager
and interested and you'll be rewarded with a variety
of work and lots of tapes to take home
