Accra, Ghana — September 2, 2026 — GhanaMedia.net has been officially featured in the Project Oasis Global Media Directory, placing the Ghanaian digital news organisation among independent media outlets mapped through a global research initiative focused on digital-native journalism.
The Project Oasis profile identifies Ghana Media, operating through GhanaMedia.net, as an independent digital news organisation based in Accra and lists its coverage across Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal and South Africa. The profile was last updated in September 2026
Project Oasis recognises GhanaMedia.net
According to the official Project Oasis directory, GhanaMedia.net produces original content and covers a broad range of subjects, including education, politics, technology, sports, economy and business, lifestyle, and entertainment and culture.
The directory also records GhanaMedia.net’s journalism genres as interviews and reporting and opinion, while identifying breaking news, live event coverage and explanatory journalism among its coverage techniques.
Project Oasis describes the GhanaMedia.net profile as meeting SembraMedia’s inclusion criteria, which require media organisations included in the directory to produce original content, serve the public interest, and operate with independence and transparency.
The directory states that the profile was developed using information provided directly by the media organisation through surveys or interviews.
A growing digital footprint
The Project Oasis profile records GhanaMedia.net’s social-media footprint, including 630,314 Facebook followers and 16,400 TikTok followers, alongside its presence on X, Instagram and YouTube.
The directory identifies Daniel Jeddman as the organisation’s founder and director and records GhanaMedia as a for-profit media organisation based in Accra.
It also lists GhanaMedia.net as having begun publishing in 2023, with English as its language of publication and international coverage focused on Ghana and other African countries.
What the Google News Initiative connection means
Project Oasis is a global research initiative that maps independent digital media organisations, news creators and publishers in exile across more than 65 countries.
Its official website says the initiative is led by SembraMedia and supported by the Google News Initiative, with the project designed to increase visibility for independent digital media and provide research into the opportunities and challenges facing the sector.
The Google News Initiative (GNI) itself works with publishers and journalists to combat misinformation and support a diverse and innovative news ecosystem.
It is therefore important to distinguish between the two relationships: GhanaMedia.net is listed in the Project Oasis Global Media Directory, while Project Oasis itself is supported by the Google News Initiative. The available Project Oasis profile does not state that GhanaMedia.net is a direct Google News Initiative member or partner.
Project Oasis describes GhanaMedia.net as meeting its inclusion criteria
The directory’s inclusion statement is particularly significant for GhanaMedia.net.
Project Oasis says the outlet is included because it “produces original content, serves the public interest, and works with independence and transparency.”
The broader Project Oasis methodology explains that media organisations are reviewed against criteria intended to identify independent digital-native media that operate with editorial independence and transparency and produce original content serving the public interest.
For a Ghanaian digital newsroom, the listing provides an externally documented profile that can be referenced when establishing the organisation’s place within the independent digital-media ecosystem.

Why the recognition matters
The Project Oasis directory gives GhanaMedia.net a place within a wider international mapping of independent digital media.
Project Oasis says its directory can be used to discover independent news organisations and understand trends, opportunities and challenges affecting digital media globally. Its current directory contains more than 3,000 media profiles across more than 65 countries.
For GhanaMedia.net, the inclusion offers an additional point of reference for advertisers, corporate partners, development organisations, researchers, media networks and prospective collaborators seeking information about Ghanaian digital publishers.
The recognition also adds independent external documentation to GhanaMedia.net’s own claims about its editorial identity and position within Ghana’s digital media landscape.

GhanaMedia.net’s inclusion comes as digital-native news organisations continue to play a growing role in informing audiences, particularly through websites and social platforms.
The Project Oasis initiative specifically seeks to map and increase the visibility of independent digital media organisations around the world.
For GhanaMedia.net, being featured in the directory represents a significant international visibility milestone while reinforcing its stated commitment to original journalism, public-interest reporting and digital-first storytelling.
