Ghana’s public sphere has witnessed a growing media presence whichhas enhanced the relay of information to the citizenry. By this, society is given a fullspectrum of alternatives to access media. Amid this atmosphere is a platform labeled the“Newspaper Review Show” which appears to have generated some sort of contention sinceits inception among newspaper publishers on one hand and broadcast stations on theother. Using an exploratory qualitative approach, this study has shown that review ofnewspaper content is pervasive in the landscape and the selective style of review ofmajor agenda has affected readership, revenue of newspaper outlets, and reading culture,among others. However, the article also contended that falling readership is attributedto some factors other than only review of newspaper content
