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 in Ghana. It was established in 1957 as Guinea Press by President Kwame Nkrumah to serve as the printing arm of his political party, later nationalized in 1966 and restructured into NTC in 1971.

While major media bias watchdogs like Media Bias/Fact Check, Ad Fontes Media, and AllSides do not provide specific bias ratings for Ghanaian Times, the outlet, as a state-owned entity, has historically shown a lean towards covering the activities of the incumbent government. Studies from 2016 and analyses of 2020 election coverage indicate that state-owned media, including the Ghanaian Times, have not always provided fair reporting to all political parties. Ghana generally has a diverse media landscape and a 'Free' press freedom rating from Freedom House, with RSF ranking it 39th globally in 2026. However, journalists in Ghana, including those from Ghanaian Times, have faced threats and attacks, and there have been past instances raising questions about thorough fact-checking.
