Happy 4th of July!

The last few days have been spent in class and touring local media stations. We've covered arts and entertainment, politics, the Ghanaian economy, and began our photojournalism lessons.

During the afternoons, we visited a private and state-owned radio station, as well as private and government newspapers. Today, we visited Public Agenda, a newspaper that promotes civil service and advocacy.

During our tour of the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation, a state-owned television and radio station, the on-air d.j. interviewed us on air. I explained to Accra the history and significance of Independence Day.

To celebrate the 4th of July, we met with a group of students from Oregon and went to Ryan's Irish Pub. We spent the night with other Americans, celebrating the 4th in an Irish pub in Ghana.
