Reacting to this, Spice FM’s Yoofi Eyeson asserts that working as a journalist means earning less money. He explained that working as a radio presenter would not make anyone wealthy.
According to Spice FM’s Yoofi Eyeson, radio presenters should not rely solely on their salaries but instead leverage their reputation and popularity to create additional income streams.
The reality is that many radio presenters, particularly those working in smaller markets or at the early stages of their careers, earn relatively low salaries. Their compensation is often considered below average compared to other media professions that require similar skills, expertise, and work hours.
Journalism is widely respected and admired, as practitioners are seen as the voice of the people, advocating for the public in times of difficulty. However, ironically, many journalists and broadcasters rarely advocate for themselves, despite facing financial challenges.
Yoofi Eyeson highlighted that low wages remain a major concern, particularly for radio presenters in Cape Coast and Takoradi. He emphasized the need for industry players to address this issue while encouraging presenters to explore alternative revenue streams to sustain their careers.
