Journalists must be empowered to market Africa- Vice President

Vice President Alhaji Mahama at the weekend expressed the need for African journalists to be paid handsome salaries to empower them to project the image of Africa.

He said Europe should also create the platform to listen and tell the story of Africa in positive light, in order to dispel the prejudices Europeans had about Africans.

Alhaji Mahama was speaking to the Ghana News Agency in Abuja, Nigeria at the end of the Fourth Africa Forum of the Partnership with Africa initiative, which aimed
at fostering development and co-operation between Africa and the industrialised nations.
