PRINT ADVERTISING IN GHANA
PRINT ADVERTS IN GHANA
Ghana’s newspaper landscape is anchored by the state-owned Daily Graphic, the country’s largest and most widely read daily, alongside the government’s Ghanaian Times, with the privately held Daily Guide (Blay family) the leading independent title. Publishing is overwhelmingly English-language and concentrated in Accra. Advertisers reach an educated, urban, institutional readership here, making print effective for corporate, government, tender, and public-notice campaigns rather than mass consumer reach.
With a mix of broad mass and a range of highly niche publications, Empire is able to offer print ad campaigns that are specific to your needs and guaranteed to reach your target audience.
