Actress and activist Lydia Forson has called for compassion and responsible journalism in the aftermath of the tragic military helicopter crash that claimed eight lives on Wednesday, August 6.
In a heartfelt statement posted on her social media, Ms Forson stressed that the nation is united in grief, saying the losses suffered were collective and the pain shared.
She extended her prayers to the families of the deceased and urged the media to exercise restraint and empathy.
“This is not content. Allow people to grieve. How many more times must we say this?” she wrote.
Forson also appealed to the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) to take a stronger stance on ethical media practices.
“I call on the GJA to step up and lead by holding its members accountable. Enough is enough,” she added.
Echoing similar sentiments, rapper Sarkodie condemned the rush for exclusive content at the expense of decency.
“Wanting to be the first to get exclusives all in the name of content can make you inhumane … Be human first,” he wrote.
