The ruling New Partiotic Party has sent a complaint to New York Times, urging it to dissociate itself from one of its staff, Marisa Schwartz Taylor and her company, Loud Silence Media.
Mrs. Taylor is wife of Kelvin Taylor and the Washington Bureau Photo Editor of the New York Times.
She runs Loud Silence Media with her Husband of Ghanaian decent Kelvin Taylor and their productions are mostly anti-president Akufo-Addo and anti-government.
The complaint letter authored and signed by the NPP National Communications Director, Yaw Buaben Asamoah read in part that ‘’ Over the last 12 months, Mrs. Taylor and her husband Kelvin Taylor, both domiciled in the United States of America, have through their highly partisan and provocative production company, Loud Silence Media, persistently vilified, maligned and slandered the President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, key members of his government and the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP)’’.
It continued that ‘’ Under the guise of what they claim to be investigative journalism, Mrs. Taylor and her husband have, on a weekly basis, through video documentaries broadcast across the world via internet, deliberately, recklessly and repeatedly peddled false and unsubstantiated allegations aimed at damaging the reputation of our President, his government and Ghana.’’
The letter added that ‘’ Consequently, we are asking the New York Times to formally and publicly dissociate itself from the work of Loud Silence Media. This we believe, will not only clear up the confusion in Ghana about the wrongful association of the New York Times with Loud Silence Media, but most importantly, protect the integrity of highly valued and independent reporting the New York Times is known for.’’
