For his consistency in professional news presentation, ability to hold audiences glued to their sets and conduct engaging interviews, TV3’s Martin Asiedu-Dartey has been named Broadcast Journalist of the Year at the Ghana Executive Awards 2025.
Martin joins a group of professional industry experts from Academia, Business, Agriculture, Civil Society, Media, Non-Governmental Organisations to be recognized for their distinct performance in their fields of endeavor.
“It is a humbling experience to be recognized for doing something you are passionate about. Usually, people will see or hear you on TV or radio for maybe 30 minutes or an hour but before that moment are countless hours of research, combing through documents, crosschecking information, making calls and several other things just to prepare for a brief moment before the respected audience.
“So to be awarded for doing something you love is an indirect way of saying ‘we see you, we recognize you, keep giving off your best. And that is quite heartwarming” Martin said after receiving the award for News Presenter of The Year – 2025 over the weekend at the plush Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra.
The jury in arriving at the shortlist of awardees considered their direct and indirect impact on the society vis-à-vis how professional they are in meeting the expectation of their audiences, customers and business stakeholders.
