JoyNews\u2019 current affairs programme, The Probe<\/em>, has been crowned the Best Radio\/TV Programme (English) at the 29th Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) Awards.<\/p>\n

The prestigious recognition, announced on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi, affirms The Probe\u2019s<\/em> standing as Ghana\u2019s leading platform for in-depth, high-impact journalism and analytical discussion in the English language.<\/p>\n

This significant win is a major highlight for The Multimedia Group Limited (MGL), Ghana\u2019s largest independent media organisation, which demonstrated a strong performance across the awards. <\/p>\n

MGL\u2019s platforms collectively secured numerous accolades, underscoring its continuous commitment to quality and influence across both English and vernacular media markets.<\/p>\n
