Godwin Asediba leaves Media General
The announcement by Godwin Asediba about his move to the BBC followed closely after he officially departed from Media General, the parent company of TV3 Ghana, where his career in Ghana reached its peak.
He initially joined Media General in September 2022 after leaving EIB Network and won multiple awards for his groundbreaking investigative journalism.
In 2023, he was adjudged Documentary TV Reporter of the Year at the 27th GJA Awards, before also winning Health Reporter of the Year at the 28th GJA Awards.
Asediba won the BBC News Komla Dumor Award in 2025 for his outstanding African storytelling, before he capped things off with the Journalist of the Year Award at the 29th GJA awards.
As part of his reward for winning the Komla Dumor award, the reporter spent three months working with the BBC.
On December 26, Godwin Asediba shared a post on Facebook announcing his official departure from Media General.
“After thoughtful reflection, I have decided to bring to a close a profoundly rewarding and defining chapter of my professional journey with Media General, specifically TV3, 3FM, and 3news.com, where I served as an investigative journalist, producer, and news anchor for three years,” he wrote.
“My time with the organisation has been nothing short of formative. Media General offered me a platform to grow, to learn, to be challenged, and to find my voice as a journalist and storyteller. For this, I am profoundly grateful. I am especially thankful to management, editors, producers, and colleagues whose guidance, support, and belief in my work made the journey worthwhile.”

Family names baby after Godwin Asediba
Previously, YEN.com.gh reported that a Ghanaian couple named their second child after Godwin Asediba in recognition of the journalist’s effort in helping their first child.
In April 2024, the award-winner reported on an incident involving a two-year-old who was severely attacked by a dog that left his backside and excretory organs destroyed.
Asediba’s reporting led to the boy undergoing multiple surgeries to repair the damage, leading the grateful couple to show their gratitude through their naming gesture.
