MISA helped 15 Journalist to become bloggers

Tuesday 26 2008 was another day for me and fellow journalist to be in front of computers with internet access as well as cool weather of the clean room for seven hours, I arrived in the training room at nine past four some fellows were still missing but we began the class anyway.

According to our schedule we visited different media websites of Tanzania, as well as international sites. The main aim being to see how this site may be useful to journalist like providing news ideas and also as a source of backgorung information from previous stories that develops.

My self I was a bit carried out to read different newspapers oline like The daily nation of Kenya (http://www.nation.co.ke/) Tanzania Daima and BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/). I believe that Jouranalist in Tanzania will be able to upgrade their reporting standard if the access to internet reliable.

I know that some media house have internet access but i also understand that there are still problems cause journalist in Tanzania to have limited acces to internet.Among those problem is lack of ample time visit websites, many journalist in Tanzania we spent most of our time in the field where we are collecting news.

However another important moment turned when we started blogging , The facilitator introduced the topic about blogs.

I liked the instruction by the facilitator on how to open blogs and how can we utilize them as journalist . I just hope that everyone in our session was able to understand how to open blogs

We opened our blogs, wrote story and posted stories.

The bloging was funny as well because during the brake most of participants were talking about their blogs names, contents and how they will be using their internet.
