The Media Foundation for West Africa has launched a new fund. It is worth GHC544,000.
This fund is designed to help journalists in Ghana. It will provide legal support to media professionals and houses.
The support is for those who face legal threats or lawsuits. This often happens when they report on matters of public interest.
The MFWA announced the fund on Monday. This was during the start of a five-day training program.
The training focused on Ghana's legal framework for journalists. It aims to strengthen their understanding and practice.
The initiative seeks to protect press freedom. It ensures journalists can report without fear of costly legal battles.
