Ghanaian blogger Felix Adomako Mensah, popularly known as Zionfelix, has urged content creators in the digital space to acquire new skills to improve their work.
Speaking on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z with Kwame Dadzie, he stressed that the fast-changing media landscape demands that bloggers adapt to modern technology to remain relevant.
“We all need to upgrade ourselves, we all need to learn. Most of us didn’t attend GIJ or any media school. We all found passion in the job and we entered into it. Thinking about the fact that we want to do this for a long time we need to learn on the job. Some of us have learnt on the job because how we started years ago is not the same as how we are today,” he said.
Zionfelix also called on the New Media Association of Ghana to organise more training programmes that will help bloggers enhance their craft.
“It’s not just about writing. It is not just about putting content out. A lot of things go into it. Even now we have people who go to events and take videos and put them together, and do very beautiful editing. So as you also go for events you need to know how to edit. It is not just about taking videos. It is not like the normal vlogging we did five years ago. People want to watch something that will appeal to them,” he explained.
Zionfelix is one of Ghana’s most influential bloggers, known for his interviews, entertainment news and lifestyle content. He has built a strong following both locally and internationally through his website and social media platforms.
