MTN Ghana, in partnership with the New Media Association of Ghana (NMAG), has held the second edition of its Bloggers Forum as part of activities marking the telecommunications company’s 30th anniversary.
MTN Ghana has engaged bloggers, digital journalists, content creators and other new media practitioners at a forum focused on emerging trends and challenges within Ghana’s evolving digital media landscape.
The forum, held on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at the MTN House in Accra, provided a platform for industry players to discuss the growing impact of technology on content creation, journalism and digital communication.
Key areas of discussion included artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, social media safety and internet connectivity.
Participants were introduced to ways AI tools can support content creation and digital journalism. Facilitators also stressed the importance of responsible use of the technology, particularly regarding accuracy, originality and credibility.
The cybersecurity session focused on practical measures bloggers and content creators can take to protect their social media accounts, websites and other digital platforms from online threats.
Reliable and affordable internet connectivity also featured prominently in the discussions. With many new media practitioners working from events and different locations, stable internet access remains essential for publishing breaking news, livestreaming and uploading photos and videos.
Speaking at the forum, MTN Ghana’s Chief Corporate Services and Sustainability Officer (CCSSO), Adwoa Afriyie Wiafe, highlighted the importance of continued engagement between MTN Ghana and the new media community.
She noted that as the digital media industry continues to evolve, collaboration with bloggers and content creators remains important to MTN Ghana’s efforts to reach and engage audiences across the country.
The engagement forms part of efforts to strengthen the relationship between MTN Ghana and digital media practitioners while promoting responsible, secure and effective use of technology in the media industry.
In his remark, President of the New Media Association of Ghana (NMAG) and founder of Nkonkonsa.com, Eugene Osafo-Nkansah, expressed gratitude to MTN Ghana for its continued support for members of the association.
He further appealed to MTN Ghana to consider introducing a special data package for bloggers and verified new media practitioners to support their work, particularly as data remains an essential tool for content creation and digital publishing. He noted that data has become an essential working tool for digital media professionals, particularly those who produce and distribute multimedia content regularly.
A dedicated package, he suggested, could help reduce some of the data-related challenges faced by bloggers and enable them to work more efficiently, especially when covering live events or breaking news.
The forum also provided an opportunity for members of NMAG to interact directly with MTN Ghana representatives, ask questions and share concerns about telecommunications services and challenges within the digital media space. Discussions further touched on possible areas of collaboration between MTN Ghana, new media practitioners and event organisers, particularly around connectivity at major events.
The forum ended with prizes presented to lucky bloggers, including a mobile phone, shopping vouchers and airtime.
