Professor Kwame Karikari is a prominent Ghanaian academic and media expert, known for his extensive work in media policy and regulation. He has played a critical role in advocating for broadcasting legislation in Ghana, tracing efforts for such reforms back to 1996. His insights emphasize the need for a regulatory framework that addresses the complexities of the country’s evolving media landscape, particularly in light of the growth from a single state-owned broadcaster to nearly 600 radio stations.
