\"\"<\/a>Ghanaian journalist, Samuel Agyemang has been named as the 2011 Commonwealth Broadcasting Association (CBA) journalist of the year.<\/p>\n

Samuel Agyemang who is also a news anchor and reporter at Metro Television, a private TV station in Ghana, was adjudged winner ahead of the BBC\u2019s Broadcast Journalist Rob Walker.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0 CBA made the announcement on June 2, 2011.<\/p>\n

The CBA\u2019s journalist of the year award sponsored by the Thomson Foundation, is for a television, radio or multimedia journalist who has shown exceptional journalistic achievement between September 2009 and August 2010.<\/p>\n

The judges said: \u201cWe were hugely impressed by Samuel\u2019s determination to get to the heart of the story \u2013 in difficult and challenging circumstances. His reporting had evident impact, brought clear results, and showed courage and a social conscience.\u201d<\/p>\n

They added, \u201cWe want to commend him on his investigative skill and encourage him to persevere in setting the highest standards of journalism.\u201d<\/p>\n

To ensure that award recipients receive maximum recognition in their home territories, Samuel Agyemang will receive the award at a CBA organized event in Ghana very soon.<\/p>\n

Other award winners for the various categories were from from South Africa, Australia, UK, Mozambique and Kenya.<\/p>\n

The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) and Televisao Independente de Mocambique were joint winners of the CBA-IBC Award for Innovative Engineering.<\/p>\n

Samuel Agyemang is currently Ghana\u2019s Journalist of the year.<\/p>\n

Some international journalists, who are friends of Samuel, are already sending him congratulating messages<\/a> on his Facebook page when he made the announcement.<\/p>\n

Amongst them is CNN\u2019s Matt Speiser who says \u201cNot the least surprised.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peter Goodman, Business Editor Huffington Post also said \u201cThat is why we spent time to profile you\u201d and Sophia Quereshi of Aljazera also saying \u201cI knew it. Congrats.\u201d<\/p>\n

The United Nations South South News posted \u201cCongratulations!!!! Well deserved!\u201d<\/p>\n
