Collins Clancy Atta Poku, an experienced sports journalist and academic, has provided both aspiring journalists and working journalists with some invaluable advice.
In a message on social media, Atta Poku advised aspiring journalists to find a part-time job since, without one, they risk becoming beggars while practicing journalism in Ghana.
As a reminder, Wontumi FM/TV, divisions of the Wontumi Communications Group, have received an official farewell from Atta Poku.
In June 2020, Atta Poku transitioned from Kessben Media to Wontumi Sports.
Atta Poku will formally begin his job as a sports journalist at Kumasi-based Sompa Fm on Monday, July 4, 2022, as of right now
Taking to Facebook, he wrote, “Sometimer was a teacher at Kings. Joe Lakka was a teacher at Okess. Offensive was teaching us English at Kass.
“These three added the Sports Journalism to it. Young Kings, don’t let anyone deceive you, the journalism alone will make you a pauper, a beggar, a hypeman and a gossip. Add value to yourself and make the journalism a hobby or side job. Without value, you’re treated like trash.”
