The Daily Graphic stresses the need to pass the Broadcasting Legislation to provide a broad framework to regulate the industry. The paper believes the industry needs to be sanitised as all manner of cacophonous noises are made on radio and television. It says the law when passed, should address the danger posed by the reckless abuse of media freedom by a section of the media and the tendency to foment trouble. The Daily Graphic believes that the Broadcasting Law will address some of the challenges and also empower the public broadcaster to deliver on its mandate to the Ghanaian populace.

The exhibition of the biometric voters register today at all 23000 polling centres across the country constitutes the editorial of the Ghanaian Times.

The Times calls on the public to raise objections over minors and ensure that the names of the deceased are deleted. It appeals to political parties to demonstrate restraint and avoid pettiness and the pursuit of parochial political agenda to make the exercise a success.
