This post is all about media schools in Kumasi, so if you living in the Ashanti region and have dreams of becoming a media personnel, then this post is worth checking out. 

Before we get into the list of media schools in Kumasi, let’s first look into what the media entails and how the media works especially in Ghana. 

Media In Ghana

Media are the communication channels or technologies used to store and convey information or data in mass communication.

Print media, publishing, news media, photography, cinema, broadcasting, digital media, and advertising are all examples of components of the mass media communications sector.

There are three main types of news media: print media, broadcast media, and the Internet.

In Ghana, the publishing of The Gold Coast Gazette and Commercial Intelligencer in 1822 marked the beginning of the media on the then Gold Coast.

The paper served various purposes: it served as a source of information for city workers and European merchants, as well as promoting literacy and rural development among the local population, all while encouraging cooperation with the Gold Coast administration.

In the mid-nineteenth century, a plethora of African-owned newspapers began to arise, most of which were entirely unrestrained by the colonial administration. This resulted in a rise of an independent press, which contributed to Ghana’s independence.

Over the years the media industry in Ghana has grown and has been fully embarrassed by the majority of the population due to the emergence of TV/Radio as well as the internet. 

The media has provided several job avenues for citizens in the country. As a result of this many individuals and private companies have taken it upon themselves to establish media schools across the country where the future generation of media personnel can be groomed. 

Below are some of these highly regarded media schools in Kumasi.
