Today’s training started with busy one hour of accomplishing the assignment left to participants by the trainer yesterday which kept busy all the participants. Unlike other days when participants had time to gossip, today each participant was busy and didn’t secure any chance to speak to each other until tea and lunch breaks.
Despite failure by the participants to accomplish the assignment within an hour, Mr. Peik resumed today’s programmes as per time table. The training today started with two aspects including plagiarism and copyright matters whereas the participants and the trainer explored broadly the implication and impacts of plagiarism and copyright matters in journalism.
In its course, the session was interrupted by a visit by Mr. Jussi Nummelin, the Second Secretary and Political Affairs Officer at the Embassy of Finland in Dar es Salaam. Definitely Mr. Nummelin came at the right moment as he contributed considerably in the hot debate that prevailed in the session. I managed to grasp two important points in his explanations, as he said,
“Internet is the only place where things are happening nowadays and you can’t resist it. Thus criticism to the source is so important considering that in the internet anybody can publish any rubbish he wishes to.”
His words appealed much to me as they seemed to summarize the whole today’s programme if not the training before he joined us in a nice breakfast and left.
After the breakfast, Mr. Peak went further to expose us into uncountable number of local and international websites where we can access enormous materials of our choice.
