From July 2, 2025, I will take over as Managing Editor of The Catholic Standard—a newspaper that has not only stood the test of time but has also quietly shaped minds, inspired moral conversations, and held a unique space in Ghana’s media landscape. This isn’t just another editorial appointment—it’s a homecoming of faith, service, and purpose.

The Catholic Standard is not your average newspaper. Born of conviction and guided by conscience, it was established in 1938 and has since become Ghana’s oldest surviving national Catholic newspaper. Through difficult times, coups, economic upheavals, and rapid technological change, it has held firm as a voice of reason, morality, and hope. While others chased headlines, The Standard pursued truth, justice, and the common good—always with the Christian ethic at heart.

The Spirit Behind the Paper

Originally founded to inform and unite Ghana’s Catholic community, The Catholic Standard quickly became much more. It was the moral compass during turbulent times. When others were silent, it spoke. When Ghana stood at crossroads, it offered thoughtful reflection. It covered politics with clarity, society with compassion, and the Church with reverence.

The paper nurtured a generation of thoughtful readers and thinkers. It was not about sensationalism—it was about substance. And it still is.

Remember Abosam Fireman?

Ask any long-time reader and they’ll fondly mention the iconic “Abosam Fireman” column—a quirky, satirical, and often sharply insightful take on Ghanaian society, cloaked in wit and native wisdom. The Fireman saw everything and spared no one. His observations cut across political lines, social pretensions, and moral failings with biting humour and prophetic foresight. It was must-read material—often discussed more than even front-page news.
There were other captivating sections too—faith-inspiring homilies, features on saints and liturgical teachings, children’s pages that sowed seeds of faith in young hearts, and letters to the editor that revealed the pulse of the people.

This blend of spiritual depth and social commentary made The Catholic Standard not just a paper, but a parish on paper—a community space for believers and thinkers alike.

A Time for Renewal

Today, The Catholic Standard is a lean 12-page weekly. But do not let the size fool you—within those pages lies the soul of a nation searching for truth, compassion, and moral clarity. We are not competing with tabloids. We are competing for hearts, minds, and conscience.

However, we are ready for growth.

With your support—yes, you, our readers, advertisers, and partners—we can increase our pagination, amplify our reach, and build a dynamic digital presence. We envision a newspaper that reflects the dignity of Catholic social teaching, engages young readers and families, reports meaningfully on national issues, and builds a vibrant online space with articles, podcasts, videos, and more.

This is the new chapter we are about to begin.

Why You Matter

No media house thrives without its community. You can support us in three powerful ways:

  1. Read: Subscribe. Pick up a copy every week. Make it part of your home and your Sunday table.
  2. Advertise: Promote your businesses, institutions, events, and messages in our pages—reach a loyal and values-driven audience.
  3. Engage: Send feedback, write letters, suggest stories. Help us stay connected to the heartbeat of our society.

We are calling on parishes, schools, Catholic professionals, entrepreneurs, and everyday readers to become active participants in this journey. Let’s tell the stories that matter. Let’s champion justice, celebrate virtue, and keep the faith alive in print and online.

A Promise

As I assume this new role, I bring with me decades of experience in journalism and public communication, and a deep respect for the power of the media to shape minds and mould hearts. I do not come with all the answers, but I come with a firm belief: that The Catholic Standard still matters—and must matter even more in the days to come.

Join me. Let’s write this new chapter together.
