I joined this course so as to learn more skills on the use of the internet in this globalised world where the world is seen as a village. There are many things in the internet information that a journalist like me should know in this contemporary world and practice them in his daily undertakings. That’s why I opted to this program.
A journalist, trainer and consultant, Peik Johansson from the Finnish Foundation for media communication and development has told Tanzanian journalists from both print and electronic media houses of Tanzania that internet usage in their daily journalistic undertakings was of paramount important.
Johansson, who is also an experienced journalist as a trainer of the workshop covered many topics regarding how one could find useful information from the internet and the website as well. Some of the topics covered in yesterday’s workshop among others were the different websites of which one could Google to find whatever he wants. Some of these websites are such as Ebay.com, miniclip.com, www.wikipedia.org, www.napser.com, www.youtube.com, www. Blogger.com.
The facilitator of the workshop also explained the difference between the terms website and electronic email and how each one was used.
My expectation is to utilize the gained skills from a five day workshop and make use of the internet in modern journalism for fact finding, news monitoring, communication and publication with the purpose of creating balanced and critical high-quality journalism for media in my daily undertakings as a journalist.
Ends.
