All over the world, most countries takes the industry very serious as if their economy depends on it. They think industry business and breaks frontiers. This makes the industry receive investment, support, partnerships etc in a well-structured and coordinated environment.
However in Ghana, the story is different; our industry has come a long way, and discussions followed shows that we have a long way to go. It has been observed with keen interest that our industry has no clear cut vision, no structure, no structured welfare services, associations trying to outweigh each other, no business think tanks, no B2Bs, no investment plans, no development plan, no pension plan, no recognition, too much government interventions especially after change of government etc.
The challenges in the industry have created some difficulties to our media stations; hence foreign content becomes the next option. No one can blame the local TV and radio stations for showing or playing foreign contents. This is because those who want stations to play or show local content don’t pay their bills, staff and taxes for them to “order” them to show Ghanaian contents. If Ghanaian contents are not attractive, how can it get partners or sponsors on their respective air time. They pay as equal utility bills and taxes as any other private organization.
At this point, we are happy to introduce to you… CREATIVE ARTS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY. This is definitely a one stop shop for industry players.
