It is late lunch hour at our training, and I have little time to make a posting about what we did yesterday and what were the reflections of the participating journalism lecturers.
For some full and fluent summaries of the programme and proceedings of the first training, I recommend the blog postings by Getrude John, Pascal Shao and Abishagi Bhoke Christopher.
They all highlight the exercise of creating blogs and also the statistics of internet usage both globally and locally in Tanzania.
One big surprise to many was that the entertainment blog by radio DJ Millard Ayo was the single most visited media website in Tanzania (5th most visited of all websites), a long way ahead of the first mainstream media on the list, which was the Mwananchi newspaper’s online site (30th most visited website in the country).
Here are Harrison Kisaka’s comments on the statistics and also about the opening of the blogs.
Neema Rugemalira went one step ahead to compare the internet usage statistics in Tanzania with neighbouring Kenya, where they have two mainstream newspapers in the top five.
Catherine Kemikimba writes that the lecturers need to update themselves, “as we are in a higher learning institution where our students need internet education on how to search for materials for their excellence.”
Leopold Katubayemwo and Joanita Rwezahula also mention in their postings that they enjoyed the participatory approach of the training as the participants were engaged in open discussions leading to different views about each topic.
For photos already posted, see the blogs of Nuru Chuo and Joseph Mtatiro.
