Job Kwabena Laboja, a promising journalist with Tobinco Media Group (Bullet TV Ghana), has been named among ten journalists selected for the 6th edition of the Media Foundation for West Africa’s (MFWA) Next Generation Investigative Journalism (NGIJ) Fellowship.
Launched on Monday, July 7, 2025, this year’s fellowship is focused on equipping early to mid-career journalists with the skills and tools to investigate and report on illicit financial flows (IFFs) including tax justice, and revenue mobilization. The three-month intensive programme is designed to build investigative journalism capacity across West Africa.
Laboja currently serves as a news producer at Bullet TV Ghana, where he leads the production of the station’s flagship evening bulletins. He previously worked with TV3 Ghana as a production assistant and Social Media Executive.
With a strong background in broadcast production, digital content creation, and current affairs reporting, he brings to the fellowship a commitment to using journalism to promote transparency, accountability, and social impact.
His selection reflects a growing recognition of his impactful work and his potential to contribute to journalism that holds power to account. Job Kwabena Laboja is also an alumnus of the University of Media, Arts, and Communication (UniMAC), formerly Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ) where he majored in Journalism.
The fellowship, running from July to September 2025, is being implemented with funding from DANIDA through Oxfam in Ghana under the Strategic Partnership Initiative for Ghana and West Africa II. It brings together select journalists for rigorous hands-on training, editorial guidance, and collaborative investigations alongside seasoned journalists at The Fourth Estate and Fact-Check Ghana.
