Kweku Baako wondered whether members of the Commission knew how documentaries of this nature were produced before reaching such a conclusion.
The editor of the newspaper New Crusading Guide praised the Joynews documentary that uncovered the existence of a militia, the De Eye group, operating from Christiansborg Castle.
"Overall, I thought this story [documentary] was a good thing; It was a quality journalism article, "Abdul Malik Kweku Baako told Newsfile on Joy News TV on Saturday.
As part of the production of the controversial documentary titled "The Militia at the Heart of the Nation", the media organization used footage from a library drawn from the violence that characterized the by-election from Awawaso West Wuogon, as representative of what the documentary was trying to unveil. .
An archive photo was also used and correctly subtitled in an online publication to promote the premiere of the documentary.
But in a decision on the government's request filed by Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah against The Multimedia Group, the NMC blamed JoyNews TV for using the library's materials.
He described as contrary to ethics.
But Kweku Baako does not agree with this decision.

According to him, it is common practice to use library materials to support the information collected by the producer in order to put the subject in a proper context.
"My difficulty is to suggest that this is unethical. As for the production of documentaries, I will find it difficult that this is considered unethical, "said the experienced journalist to the show's host, Samson Lardy Anyenini.
He therefore challenged the NMC's decision and asked if the members of the Commission were aware of the documentary production process of this nature before reaching such a conclusion.
"Is there a deficit on the part of the panelists compared to what goes into documentary production," he asked.
