A1 Radio’s Moses Apiah has been named the GJA/Komla Dumor Most Promising Journalist of the Year at the 30th National Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) Awards held in Accra on Saturday.
The Bolgatanga-based journalist also won the Best Reporter on Health award, securing two national honours in recognition of his reporting on health, social issues and the challenges facing underserved communities.
Mr Apiah becomes the first journalist based in northern Ghana to receive the GJA/Komla Dumor Most Promising Journalist of the Year award.
Speaking after the ceremony, he said the recognition would strengthen his commitment to journalism that highlights the lived experiences of ordinary people and contributes to positive social change.
“I will continue to use my platform to bring social and human impact to the lived experiences of people. This recognition is a step towards doing more with the platforms available to me. Like I keep saying, journalism is about bringing social and human impact to society, and I will continue to do that,” he said.
The GJA/Komla Dumor Most Promising Journalist of the Year award recognises emerging journalists who demonstrate exceptional promise, dedication and impact through their reporting.
Mr Apiah’s national recognition follows his success at the 2025 Upper East Regional GJA Awards, held in 2026, where he was named the region’s Journalist of the Year.
He also won the Best Reporter on Child Protection and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights award at the regional ceremony.
His latest achievements add to a growing list of recognitions for his reporting on health, education, climate change, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), and other development issues affecting communities in the Upper East Region.
