The media play a very important role in the development of each country.

The promotion of each country to improve the political, economic and social life of the population can not be achieved without a dynamic media.

In many jurisdictions, the media helps people understand and appreciate their environment. In fact, when the media plays professionally with truth, justice and justice, the company gains a considerable advantage.

Therefore, in most free societies, freedom of the media is guaranteed and any act of commission or omission on the part of any actor of state power is considered an attempt to stifle the freedom of the media.

It is therefore disturbing to note that in many parts of the world, media professionals have been the victims of various attacks by various people – ordinary citizens, politicians, and members of state security.

Ghana also has its share of threats and attacks against media professionals and the Daily Graphic is very concerned that, of the more than 25 attacks on journalists in the last 13 years, no one is behind these attacks. was not prosecuted.

Our concern is that many of these attackers, who are mostly in the security services, are being identified, with the promise of using the security services' procedures to punish them, but our checks show that not a single Was sanctioned.

The attack on three Ghanaian Times journalists, beaten by a police officer at driving last Thursday, is currently in our hands.
According to our information, one of the journalists was reportedly locked up at the police station of the Ministry and the intervention of the Director of Public Affairs Directorate of the Ghana Police, ACP David Eklu, would have been necessary for the reporter be released.

Keeping this in mind, and knowing that the police officer at the center of the attack has been identified, the media fraternity hopes that very swift action will be taken to bring the perpetrator of the crime to S & # 's 39; register.

We know that Ghanaian police are filled with excellent officers and men who can act quickly in some cases. A typical example is the speed with which the driver and his mate who badaulted a traffic officer were brought to court a few days after the unforgivable act.

While committing ourselves to badisting the security services in maintaining order, we urge the police to take immediate action against attacks on journalists by persons belonging to the security services, in particular the police.

Only by doing so will they gain the confidence of the media and the general public that they are interested in issues that affect not only their own, but also those of all Ghanaians, for whom they continue to win. their emoluments.
