Prince Owusu Asiedu is a Ghanaian broadcast journalist with extensive experience covering
social and development issues, including public health, road safety, gender, climate change,
and environmental sustainability. He is committed to using journalism to drive public
awareness, accountability, and positive social change. He holds a degree in Human Resource
Management from the University of Cape Coast.
His impactful reporting has earned national recognition, including the 2025 Merck
Foundation Award. He is also a fellow of New Narratives, where he focuses on climate and
environmental journalism.
Prince’s reporting has consistently brought critical public health and environmental issues to
national attention. His investigation into smoke exposure among fishmongers and children in
James Town prompted calls for improvements to the Ahotor Oven to reduce health risks. His
reporting on the harmful working conditions faced by physically challenged toll booth
collectors contributed to public discussions that preceded the introduction of an electronic
tolling system.
He also highlighted the severe dust pollution affecting communities along the
Ofankor–Nsawam Road, after which government announced timelines for completing the
project. More recently, his documentary on the health impacts of dust and chemical exposure
among illegal miners spurred increased public education efforts by the Environmental
Protection Agency aimed at curbing illegal mining activities.
Through his work, Prince continues to demonstrate the power of journalism to inform public
debate, influence policy discussions, and amplify the concerns of underserved communities.
