The Mirror salutes all mothers on the occasion of mothers’ day today. The  paper notes that even though  the  hardships   women face are  enormous, yet  they  continue to stand tall as the  back bone  of  families and  the  nation. 

The Mirror, acknowledged that even though  a lot of education and  sensitisation are being  carried  out  by  women’s groups, government and  civil society  organisations to empower women,  the   rising number of  mothers too poor to  meet the  material needs of  their household  is n indication  for  a  reassessment of  the  situation. 

The  paper therefore appeals  to mothers and women,  to  start reawakening  themselves and  ensure that  no matter the  circumstances, they would  not  despair  in their  efforts to achieve their  goals.
 
The Standard writes on this year’s celebration of World Press Freedom Day.  It  says  the day  reminds  governments, inter-governmental and  non-governments, Organizations as well as  civil society  of the crucial role  a free press plays  in  strengthening  democracies and  fostering development  around  the  world. 

In its view, the greatest treat to Press freedoms when practitioners cannot express their opinions without bending backwards.  It however,  appeals  to  media  practitioners not  to  exercise  their  freedom in a manner that  world  infringe  on the liberties of  other  people.

The Spectator  says  for the   first  time in  several years,  the  NDC  has  pulled the kind of  crowd any  serious party  would  be proud of . The  paper notes that  the  electoral battle ahead is  a dicey one for the  NDC  and NPP and  both parties are adopting various  strategies to  checkmate each  other in the  December elections. 

The  Spectator says  Ghanaians are desirous  of  and  are expecting not  only  a very  keen contest, but  at the  end  of  the election a  declaration of  fair  and peaceful results.
