Last Friday, October 2, 2020, marked exactly 70 years when the first newspaper from the Graphic Communications Group (GCGL) stable - the Daily Graphic, hit the newsstands.

To commemorate that epoch event, the GCGL in the morning went on a float through some principal streets of Accra distributing complementary copies of the Daily Graphic and nose masks to the public.

A loyalty promotion to reward readers was also announced during the float. Readers of any of the brands in the GCGL stable stand the chance to win one of four KIA saloon cars at stake as well as other prizes.

In the evening staff dressed up in their white or red Graphic@70 lacoste treated themselves to a music-laden cocktail and cut the anniversary cake. It was a day of fun and excitement pervaded the air at the GCGL's headquarters as well as regional offices.

Well Edmages could not help but capture some scenes from the float and some portraits of staff which it shares here. Enjoy!
