The editors and journalism trainers that are taking part in the training have already been posting lots of texts to their blogs. Here’s a few links to the participants’ reflections on the proceedings from Tuesday.
Issa Athumani, journalism lecturer at the University of Dar es Salaam School of Journalism and Mass Communication (SJMC), says that “the training is challenging us to think of the growing internet technology and the website use differently as to claim for its advantages and its criticism in our Tanzanian context.”
Imma Mbuguni, chief editor of Dar Leo newspaper, has also written a nice commentary about the first days of the training. “The discussion was more interesting, when we discussed about the survival of print media and how it is being killed by electronic media such as radio, TV, blogs etc and whether the government of Tanzania is killing or promoting the private media in Tanzania.”
For a list of some of the websites we visited on Monday, see the blog of Edward Kinabo, subeditor of Tanzania Daima.
Editha Majura, journalist from Mwananchi, has made a longer report in Kiswahili with reflections on the first days of the training.
“The internet will be my friend throughout the day and almost in my whole life”, is the conclusion of Nonatus Migwano, journalism lecturer at the Royal College of Tanzania.
