Portia Gabor is a Broadcast Journalist, Producer and News Anchor at TV3 Network Limited based in Accra, Ghana. She joined TV3 in 2007, carving a niche for herself reporting mainly on persons living with rare diseases and disability. At an immense personal risk, she reported on the COVID-19 outbreak from isolation and treatment centers in Ghana. Her report on a 7-year-old Ayeyi Yiadom Boakye, who had Osteogenesis Imperfecta attracted the likes of Ghana’s first Lady to raise awareness on the rare disease. Portia’s report on disability also led to the discovery of a blind school dropout, Adelaide the seer, who is now a music sensation in Ghana.

Most of her works have been honored including Best Reporter on Disability, Disability Excellence Awards, 2021, Ghana Journalist Awards 2020, Special Award for COVID-19 reporting, Science Reporting and Ghana Journalist Awards 2019, and Female Journalist of the Year.
