Reporting for Clean Air: Ghanaian Journalists Learn to Cover the Air We Breathe
What does it take to report air pollution responsibly in Ghana, and whose voices should shape the story?
In this episode of Clean Air Report Ghana, host Michael Asharley takes listeners inside a three-day workshop in Accra where journalists from across Ghana compared notes, challenged assumptions, and strengthened their reporting.
The episode features insights from Prof. Reginald Quansah, who underscores the often overlooked danger of household air pollution, particularly for women and children. It also includes perspectives from Desmond Appiah of the Clean Air Fund, and Hamza Bawa Mahama of People’s Dialogue on Human Settlements, who explains how community-led air quality monitoring is changing who owns pollution data.
Through expert voices and reflections from the fellows themselves, the episode explores how data, policy, and lived experience must come together to tell more inclusive clean air stories.
This is a behind-the-scenes look at the thinking shaping the next phase of air pollution reporting in Ghana.
Clean Air Report Ghana is a collaboration between New Narratives and leading Ghanaian newsrooms. Funding is provided by the Clean Air Fund which had no say in the reporting.
