A Lawyer and academic, Dr Nana Oppong, has called for the enactment of a law that will recognise and protect journalism as an essential national service, similar to the way the Judiciary is protected.
“We must pass a law to be described as the Defenders of Public Interest Act (DOPIA) in order to provide special security, targeted training, compensation and financial support for professional journalists and their families and other persons engaged in sensitive assignments, investigations and projects of national importance,” he said.
