We learned from icons, but today’s artistes don’t care – Osei Berko on Industry Standards

Renowned actor and broadcaster Mikki Osei Berko has voiced concerns over declining standards in Ghana’s creative arts industry, particularly in broadcasting, journalism, and filmmaking.

Speaking on YM, he noted the shift away from mentorship and formal training, which were crucial during his era.

Osei Berko reflected on learning from legends like Tommy Annan Forson and Kwame Sefa Kayi, contrasting this with younger professionals who rely heavily on technology but neglect guidance.
