Ghana Institute of Journalism History
The Ghana Institute of Journalism, some time ago was called The Ghana School of Journalism, founded and opened to the public on Monday, 16th October 1959, by the then Minister of Information and Broadcasting, Mr. Kofi Baako.
The school was set up by the Kwame Nkrumah government to give preparing in news-casting toward the advancement of a devoted unit of columnists to play a functioning role in the liberation of the African landmass.
Initially a department of the Accra Technical Institute (presently Accra Polytechnic), the school had its first head and reporting guide, Mr. Richard McMillan, then retiring as Director of British Information Services in Ghana. In 1966, the school moved to the present site which used to house the Ghana Press Club.
Over the years, the Institute has undergone significant changes and owes its current tertiary status to the following legislative instruments.
