Maxine Danso, representing Dubawa, a West African independent verification and fact-checking project, graced the inauguration of the Media and Information Literacy Club at the University of Media Arts and Communication-Institute of Journalism, formally known as the Ghana Institute of Journalism, on October 20, 2023.
Speaking to the enthusiastic audience at the North Dzorwulu campus auditorium, Maxine Danso shared a message of encouragement.
“It is an honour to be here at the launch of the media and information literacy club, and on behalf of Dubawa, I say a big congratulations to all of you for making this happen,” she said, acknowledging the diligent efforts of the club’s founders.
“As an organisation that advocates the importance of media and information literacy, we find it very fulfilling to see some of the seeds we have sown into students of this institution bearing fruit—one of them being nurturing the thought of forming this club, and today here it is—we are launching it. Well done to you all.”
Maxine expressed her optimism regarding the club’s potential to initiate impactful campaigns and projects, transcending student boundaries to reach adults and grassroots communities.
She highlighted the critical role of media and information literacy in combating the spread of false information.
“Harness all the skills you have gleaned over the years of being in this institution and let people understand the importance of what you know. You will do well.”
The message of solidarity extended to UniMAC-IJ’s Media and Information Literacy Club was complemented by greetings from the entire Dubawa team and their team lead, Caroline Anipah, who was absent but assured the club of Dubawa’s unwavering support whenever needed.
Maxine urged the club members to reach out to her organisation for assistance when necessary.
