Founder and Managing partner of AFRIMASS NETWORK, Raymond Smith commenting on the impact of the Covid19 pandemic on the media and in the lead to the event, noted the media industry has had its fair share of the pandemic’s ravaging effects on businesses, households and the economy at large.
According to him, advertising budgets of most media houses were significantly affected with most of them cutting down on the expected revenue to be generated from advertisements on their respective platforms.
“In this year’s Summit, we will take a look at what has been the extent of the effect of the pandemic on media organizations in Ghana and how media organizations can take advantage of the opportunities of revenue generation the pandemic has indirectly presented,” he said.
