Manasseh Azure quits ‘Multimedia’, promises to dedicate more time to the writing of books

Investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni has ended his 7-years of working with the Multimedia Group.

Manasseh’s resignation comes barely a week after the National Media Commission (NMC) described the “Militia in the Heart of the Nation” he authored for JoyNews, a subsidiary of Multimedia Group as misleading and a misrepresentation.

In a note published on his personal website, he expressed utmost gratitude to his former employers, colleagues and everyone who has been helpful to him. It reads:

“I wish to announce my resignation from The Multimedia Group.

I thank management of company for the opportunity to work with what in my view is the most credible, influential, impactful and daring media organistion in Ghana. I thank them for their support and encouragement all these years. It is no doubt that if I were to work again in a media house in Ghana, I would choose The Multimedia Group.

I also wish to thank all who have supported me in diverse ways since November 2012 when I joined The Multimedia Group. To the audience of The Multimedia Group and the sources who helped me in my work, I am eternally grateful.

I will continue to serve Ghana as a freelance investigative journalist and dedicate more time to the writing of books.
