Ransford Tetteh appointed Ag MD of Graphic Communications Group LTD

The Board of Directors of the Graphic Communications Group Limited (GCGL) has appointed the Editor of the Daily Graphic,  Ransford Tetteh, as the acting Managing Director of the company.

Mr. Tetteh, who joined the company in July 1983 as a reporter and became the editor of the company’s flagship newspaper in 2007, replaces Ken Ashigbey, who resigned the position on October 31, this year, after six years in charge of the GCGL.

A statement issued by the Corporate Affairs Unit of the company in Accra on Thursday said the appointment was made in consultation with the management following the need to put in place temporary measures to ensure that the day-to-day administration of the GCGL did not suffer.

Accordingly, the board called on both management and staff of the GCGL to continue to support Mr. Tetteh, since the former MD had formally handed over to him.

Before assuming the position of Editor, Mr. Tetteh served in other capacities, such as News Editor, Political Editor, Eastern Regional Editor of the Daily Graphic and the Features Editor of the The Mirror, a weekly newspaper of the GCGL.

Mr. Tetteh is an advocate of sustainable development having studied Development, Governance, Law and Democracy at the Institute for Development Studies of the University of Cape Coast for his master’s degree and Post Graduate Diploma in Communication Studies at the University of Ghana.

Between 2006 and 2013, he was the President of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) and served on the Governing Council of the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ) from 2006 to 2016.

A product of the GIJ, he is also a Gordon Fisher Fellow of the Massey College of the University of Toronto, Canada, during the 2000/2001 academic year.
