About Ghanaian Times

State Media Government-alignedRead with context

The Ghanaian Times is published by the New Times Corporation (NTC), a wholly state-owned enterprise established in 1957 by Ghana's first president, Kwame Nkrumah, initially as the printing house for his political party. It was nationalized in 1968 and operates under the oversight of the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA) and is regulated by the National Media Commission (NMC), which appoints its board and managing director in consultation with the President.

The Ghanaian Times is a state-owned newspaper with a history of being used to disseminate state policies and programs. A 2016 study found it, along with other state media, did not provide fair reporting to all political parties, suggesting a bias towards the incumbent government. While the outlet's editorials advocate for professionalism and fact-checking, a past incident involved its editor being questioned by police over a story deemed 'false information'. External media bias organizations like Media Bias/Fact Check, Ad Fontes Media, and AllSides do not provide specific bias ratings for the Ghanaian Times.
