Illustration of a young Ghanaian woman journalist in a gold blazer holding a notebook and magnifying glass, watching a large crowd holding up glowing phones toward a giant screen showing a sensational scandal-style graphic with a heart and comment bubble. A small scale in the foreground balances a likes icon against a blank document, symbolising public interest versus public curiosity in Ghana's media.
