Tanzanian journalists research information via Internet

Again today has been another interesting session where Tanzanian journalists have been enlightened by an experienced facilitator Peik Johansson from the Finnish Foundation for media communication and development on how to do their journalistic research via internet. According to some journalists with whom I happened to have a tete for tete,” they said the teaching has been very informative, in the sense that they have even known to use their computers better than before.

“I have been using my computer all these years but I did not know before how to look for the information as we have been learning. People colleagues will now be left with mouth dumb”, they boasted.

What my fellow trainees are experiencing with all what we have been learning on how to make internet as our important tool in journalistic daily undertakings, have also been very benefiting to m e as well.

I would like to ensure my friends that from now onwards looking for simple facts, background information of anything is now like someone drinking water. I am an expert on the issue.

It is for most of us now to publish and post our writing arts on the web to read by many people around the global who will be interested with the baring in mind that knowledge is no longer a private property. That is why Mr. Peik Johansson from the Finnish Foundation for media communication and development is currently here sharing and imparting the knowledge on the internet usage to Tanzanian journalists from both the print and the electronic media.

In today’s session we have visited various websites among others are the Tanzanian national website, the White House website, the Burkina Faso website. To mention a few.
