First journalism intern joins ghanabusinessnews.com

The first journalism intern has joined Ghana’s first online business news portal, ghanabusinessnews.com.

Mr. Ekow Quandzie who graduated from the African University College of Communications (AUCC) in Accra in 2009 was taken on to do an initial three-month internship Monday November 15, 2010.

Mr. Quandzie said he chose to join the medium because he believes ghanabusinessnews.com has the potential to become the leading online news source in Ghana and he wanted to be part of the process.

“While here, I hope to learn skills in online journalism, audio editing, photography and all I could learn to make me an efficient and effective journalist,” he said.

Commenting on the internship, Managing Online Editor, Mr. Emmanuel K. Dogbevi said, “we hope Mr. Quandzie would make the best of the opportunity here to put into use what he was taught at journalism school as well as sharpen his skills to enable him function as a good journalist. I welcome him into the team.”

“Our doors are open to graduates who want to be given the practical training and mentoring to hone their journalism and writing skills, and other areas where possible to prepare them for the challenges of future professional careers,” he said.
