Field Notes
My Trip to Ghana
Reporting, editing, and learning inside a fast-paced newsroom in Accra during the months leading up to Ghana’s presidential election.
During the Media in Ghana program at the University of Oregon, I had the opportunity to write, edit, and report for The Daily Guide Newspaper, one of the leading publications in Accra, Ghana.
My internship took place in the months leading up to Ghana’s presidential election, where much of my work focused on political reporting and election coverage. The newsroom’s pace demanded clarity, accuracy, and adaptability.
Immersing myself in Ghana’s media environment pushed me to rethink how political stories are framed and told.
Adjusting to a different editorial style was challenging at first, but it strengthened my understanding of global journalism and sharpened my ability to communicate across cultures.
Collaborating with Ghanaian journalists broadened my perspective on reporting and reinforced the importance of context, local knowledge, and responsible storytelling.
