</xml><![endif]-->The training ended well yesterday with final research and writing assignments, handing of out certificates, and final speeches by Sister Harriet and Dr Anne Gongwe, dean of the faculty of social sciences and communication.<br />
<br />
The afternoon was also dramatic as we could feel the building trembling and see the windows shaking due to an earthquake, which had its <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-37330418">epicentre in Bukoba</a>, on the western shores of Lake Victoria. Here in Mwanza, when the earth started moving, some of the participants just ran out of the building, four floors down, fearing that the whole building might collapse. Last night’s news tell that in Bukoba <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/sep/11/more-than-200-injured-in-bukoba-tanzania-earthquake">thirteen lives were lost and 200 people got injured</a>.<br />
<br />
Before that, at our internet training, the participants managed to publish some very good stories about their last assignment topics. For the decline of the Nile perch in Lake Victoria, see at least the stories by <a href="http://agriacademics.blogspot.com/2016/09/mhoff-12.html">Pascal Shao</a>, <a href="http://madamabbiemboya.blogspot.com/2016/09/recently-i-was-requested-by-friend-from.html">Abishagi Bhoke Christopher</a>, <a href="http://getrudesaut.blogspot.com/2016/09/nile-perch-needs-rescue-collective.html">Getrude John</a> and <a href="http://neychuo.blogspot.com/2016/09/saving-nile-perch.html">Neema Rugemalira</a>. Links should also be found to their original sources. For the press freedom in Tanzania, see the stories by <a href="http://leopoldkatubayemwo.blogspot.com/2016/09/normal-0-false-false-false-en-gb-x-none.html">Leopold Katubayemwo</a>, <a href="http://ckemikimba.blogspot.com/2016/09/leadership-and-freedom-of-press-in_10.html">Catherine Kemikimba</a> and <a href="http://sautphotojournalism.blogspot.com/2016/09/some-laws-in-tanzania-captivates-right.html">Harrison Kibaka</a>.<br />
<br />
Some of the participants have also posted some nice feedback from the training and on what they have gained for their own careers and for their students. Here are links to the final feedbacks of <a href="http://madamabbiemboya.blogspot.com/2016/09/omg-internet-training-for-journalism.html">Abishagi</a>, <a href="http://neychuo.blogspot.com/2016/09/training-ends-with-earthquake.html">Neema</a>, <a href="http://agriacademics.blogspot.com/2016/09/normal-0-false-false-false-en-us-x-none_10.html">Pascal</a>, <a href="http://anethplatform.blogspot.com/2016/09/training-day-four.html">Aneth</a>, <a href="http://djmcsautmwanza.blogspot.com/2016/09/a-new-way-to-journalism-in-digital-era_75.html">Nuru</a>, <a href="http://mejocatering.blogspot.com/2016/09/third-day-and-general-report-of-training.html">Joanita</a> and <a href="http://leopoldkatubayemwo.blogspot.com/2016/09/normal-0-false-false-false-en-gb-x-none_11.html">Leopold</a>.</div>

producing stories based on investigations through the internet.<br />
<br />
The website <a href="http://www.plagiarism.org/plagiarism-101/what-is-plagiarism">Plagiarism.org</a> lists the following examples as plagiarism:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Turning in someone else’s work as your own<br />
<br />
Copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit<br />
<br />
Failing to put a quotation in quotation marks<br />
<br />
Changing words but copying the sentence structure without giving credit<br />
<br />
Copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not</blockquote>
For most journalists, editors and lecturers in class, the previous examples sound too familiar.<br />
<br />
Then
how can you avoid plagiarizing? In most cases by citing sources. By
simply explaining that a part of the material has been borrowed, and
providing your audience the information necessary to find the original
source. That’s usually enough to prevent plagiarism.<br />
<br />
Plagiarism
has never been as easy as it is today. Before the internet, potential
plagiarists would have had to go to the library and copy texts from
books by hand. But the internet now makes it easy to find thousands of
relevant sources in seconds, and in a few minutes one could find, copy
and paste together an entire seminar paper, or a feature story.<br />
<br />
But
there’s no point in copy-pasting. You just make a much better story by
writing in your own style and words. An editor or a teacher should also
easily recognize passages that are directly copied, from the vocabulary
used.<br />
<br />
Journalists in any country caught plagiarizing
can get sacked. If you are copying someone else’s story for an article
published in your own name, you might also get sued for copyright
infringement and be forced to pay heavy compensation. The same goes for
publishing a photo without the permission of the copyright owner. In
most of the world, the length of the copyright is usually 50 or 70 years
after the death of the author. In Tanzania, 50 years.<br />
<br />
The
recommendation was that all participants would take their time and read
the Tanzanian Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Act from 1999, found <a href="http://portal.unesco.org/culture/en/ev.php-URL_ID=19937&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html">here</a> as a PDF file on a UNESCO web portal where they have collected the copyright laws from most countries.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-12613617">Here’s</a> another link to a good BBC story about plagiarism, how easy it is, and how easily it can be detected.Peik Johanssonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14573431828147862632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888154240234757750.post-64883078628647075942016-09-10T10:45:00.001+03:002016-11-04T16:36:00.895+03:00Photos from this morning<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here’s some useful tips when searching for information from the web.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Think first, before going to the web.<br /><br />What
do you search for and where might you find it? Are you searching for
simple facts, backgrounds or any other information that can develop your
story? Should you google, or can you find the information on a specific
website you already know? Do you find it from the internet, or better
somewhere else?<br /><br />Always monitor other news sites, both local and international, and also other web resources.<br /><br />Choose right search words.<br /><br />Try
different Google search options – sometimes web, sometimes news,
sometimes “all web”, sometimes only Tanzanian pages, or only Swahili
language pages. You can also narrow your search by date, for last year,
last month, last week or the last 24 hours only.<br /><br />Open pages in a new tab. While the new pages are opening, you can continue reading the original page.<br /><br />Add
to favourites, or bookmarks. Also open new files for your favourites,
or bookmarks. Then you will easier find the stories when you want to
come back to them.<br /><br />Follow the links in the stories you read.<br /><br />Go to original sources.<br /><br />Don’t always read everything, but scan for what is of your interest.<br /><br />Don’t ever copy-paste! That’s </span><a href="http://plagiarism.org/plagiarism-101/what-is-plagiarism"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">plagiarism</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">.<br /><br />Print if necessary. Read as homework, underline.<br /><br />Also make notes to your notebook and save drafts to a USB flash.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here’s some more tips before you start writing the story.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Structure your story in your mind and on paper.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Decide what is relevant for your narrative.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Write simple with own words.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Quote when necessary.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Understand what you write (you are there to make things understandable for your audience).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Add details for human interest.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When you’re about to publish:</span> <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Provide links to original sources (if you publish online).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Always also think about headline, visual outlook, quotes, images, graphics etc.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Some general good advice for producing good investigative stories:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Spend much more time on the investigation than on the actual writing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Plan your story into narrative chunks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Also plan how you use your time</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">for research</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">for writing</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">for editing your text</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">for checking facts</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">and for delivering the final story.</span></li>

Hello again since some time of silence, which is due to very hectic days at the training and an annoyingly slow internet connection at the hotel where I’m staying.<br />
<br />
Here’s now a short summary of the third training day, that we spent mostly on research assignments starting from simple and moving on to more complicated ones.<br />
<br />
It was still relatively easy to find out the population of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iringa">Iringa</a> – after acknowledging that what I meant was Iringa town, instead of Iringa region. Finding this season’s top goal scorer of the UEFA Champions League was a bit more difficult, as the actual group stage is about to begin only next week, but the best scorer from the qualification matches (<a href="http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2017/statistics/round=2000779/index.html">Andreas Cornelius, FC Copenhagen</a>) was finally found on the UEFA website itself.<br />
<br />
Probably the most challenging task so far was to find the height of the fourth highest mountain in Tanzania as the existing web resources about Tanzanian mountain peaks give <a href="http://www.geonames.org/TZ/highest-mountains-in-tanzania.html">contradicting results</a> and no one in the class, including myself, had ever heard about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Loolmalasin">Mount Loolmalassin</a>, which seems to be the third highest mountain after Kilimanjaro and Mt Meru. Eventually, we agreed that Mt Hanang must be the fourth highest mountain (3,420 metres), which was at least confirmed by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Hanang">a Wikipedia article</a>.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the participants have also published postings and feedbacks on some of the main issues covered on Day 2.<br />
<br />
Here’s a nice summary by <a href="http://neychuo.blogspot.com/2016/09/training-day-2.html">Neema Rugemalira</a> especially about the search tips discussed in class. Some of the search tips were also mentioned by <a href="http://sakinafaru.blogspot.com/2016/09/the-ball-is-still-rolling.html">Sakina Faru</a> and <a href="http://ckemikimba.blogspot.com/2016/09/day-2-of-training.html">Catherine Kemikimba</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://agriacademics.blogspot.com/2016/09/day-two-of-training.html">Pascal Shao</a> claims that “for the journalism lecturers, the training has been quite resourceful and they are now able to do research through the internet systematically. Above all, I believe the training helps the lecturers to assist their students to plan their literature searching and writing as academicians taking into account verifying information and avoiding plagiarism.”<br />
<br />
We were also working on our blogs, going through different design options and how to add links to the texts. For more about the blogging sessions, see the postings by <a href="http://prsaut.blogspot.com/2016/09/lessons-learned-in-day-2-of-training.html">Frank Katabi</a>, <a href="http://sautphotojournalism.blogspot.com/2016/09/now-im-blogger.html">Harrison Kisaka</a>, <a href="http://kitvproductions.blogspot.com/2016/09/training-continues-and-method-of.html">Joseph Mtatiro</a> and <a href="http://djmcsautmwanza.blogspot.com/2016/09/a-new-way-to-journalism-in-digital-era.html">Nuru Shao</a>.<br />
<br />
I also recommend visiting the beautiful blog that Ridhwan Msisiri has created <a href="http://kmtsistersdaily.blogspot.com/">with birthday photos about his sweet daughters</a>. </div>

</xml><![endif]-->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.<br />
<br />
For some full and fluent summaries of the programme and proceedings of the first training, I recommend the blog postings by <a href="http://getrudesaut.blogspot.com/2016/09/the-summary-of-first-training-day.html">Getrude John</a>, <a href="http://agriacademics.blogspot.com/2016/09/normal-0-false-false-false-en-us-x-none.html">Pascal Shao</a> and <a href="http://madamabbiemboya.blogspot.com/2016/09/hello-i-had-very-interesting-day-at.html">Abishagi Bhoke Christopher</a>.<br />
<br />
They all highlight the exercise of creating blogs and also the statistics of internet usage both <a href="http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm">globally</a> and <a href="http://www.alexa.com/topsites/countries;0/TZ">locally in Tanzania</a>.<br />
<br />
One big surprise to many was that the entertainment blog by radio DJ <a href="http://millardayo.com/">Millard Ayo</a> 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 <a href="http://www.mwananchi.co.tz/">Mwananchi</a> newspaper’s online site (30th most visited website in the country).<br />
<br />
<a href="http://sautphotojournalism.blogspot.com/2016/09/blog-post.html">Here</a> are Harrison Kisaka’s comments on the statistics and also about the opening of the blogs.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://neychuo.blogspot.com/2016/09/first-day-of-training.html">Neema Rugemalira</a> went one step ahead to compare the internet usage statistics in Tanzania with neighbouring Kenya, where they have <a href="http://www.alexa.com/topsites/countries/KE">two mainstream newspapers in the top five</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://ckemikimba.blogspot.com/2016/09/i-find-training-so-fruitful-as-on-first.html">Catherine Kemikimba</a> 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.”<br />
<br />
<a href="http://leopoldkatubayemwo.blogspot.com/2016/09/normal-0-false-false-false-en-us-x-none_7.html">Leopold Katubayemwo</a> and <a href="http://mejocatering.blogspot.com/2016/09/a-day-report-of-internet-training.html">Joanita Rwezahula</a> 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.<br />
<br />

This is my first posting from an internet training with local journalism lecturers at <a href="https://saut.ac.tz/">St. Augustine University of Tanzania</a>, or shortly SAUT, a highly regarded Catholic church-based academic institution located at Nyegezi in the outskirts of Mwanza town. We’re on the fourth floor of the library building in an old style ICT class with windows open and a beautiful scenery over some rocky hills and Lake Victoria, the second biggest freshwater basin in the world. <br />
<br />
This intensive training is part of a wider internet training programme for Tanzanian journalists and journalism lecturers co-arranged by MISA Tanzania and <a href="http://vikes.fi/">Vikes – Finnish Foundation for Media and Development</a>, a solidarity organization of the Union of Journalists in Finland and other Finnish journalist associations, with support from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland.<br />
<br />
The training is the third internet training arranged specifically for journalism lecturers in Tanzania and already, believe it or not, the 46th internet training course arranged within the training programme, which has been running since 2008.<br />
<br />
Other previous internet courses have focused on editors from national mainstream media as well as radio producers, local reporters and also journalism lecturers in Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Mbeya, Mwanza and Zanzibar.<br />
<br />
During the last six years, separate Swahili-language training courses have also been arranged for local reporters and regional correspondents in 18 locations around the country, namely Babati, Bukoba, Dodoma, Geita, Iringa, Kigoma, Mbeya, Morogoro, Moshi, Mtwara, Musoma, Mwanza, Njombe, Pemba, Shinyanga, Songea, Sumbawanga and Tanga. These trainings have been conducted by a group of dedicated Tanzanian trainers, who have been trained specifically for that purpose as part of this same programme.<br />
<br />
Now, at this internet journalism training at SAUT, there are 16 lecturers from the local journalism department, currently teaching courses ranging from basic news reporting to feature writing, broadcast journalism, public relations, interpersonal communication, social ethics, and environmental journalism, among others.<br />
<br />
The day has started well with plenty of time spent for introductions and listing of expectations. More about the proceedings of the first training day later.</div>
