Democratizing media systems in African societies : the case of Ghana
This paper takes the Ghanaian situation as a case in point to demonstrate that in Sub Saharan Africa the imbalances in communication systems observed at the international level also exist within the national borders. The author proposes some mechanisms for achieving the democratization of communication systems at the national level. The deciding factor in this process, he argues, is the presence of genuine political will and commitment to effect the necessary changes.
