<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Truly education has got no end I can say, From January, 30<sup> </sup>to Feb, 3, I joined my fellow media editors, sub editors, journalists and journalism lecturers from different institutions at Tanzania Global Development Learning Centre (TGLC) for internet uses training.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The training was geared towards exposing participants to more sophisticated techniques of using internet in undertaking their journalistic activities especially in journalistic researches through the internet and the appropriate sources of information in Africa and worldwide at large.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Indeed, the training was fantastic as it was well organized, practically oriented and run by experienced trainers involving Mr. Peik and Mjengwa. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">I appeal to you that I have grasped a lot of techniques however that I need more time to practice for my own.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Really, the training has exposed me into new and basic techniques which would be very useful in executing my duties at my media house. Importantly, I am certain that the knowledge I have gained won’t end up in me but rather I will strive to pass it to my colleagues who didn’t attend the training.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">However, for the sake of some improvement in the future, I would recommend the following things that need to be taken into consideration; Training period be extended as the training encompassed a lot of aspects but we were compelled to go fast in order to cope with the schedule, Working facilities be improved in this case, the internet connections as sometimes participants failed to follow the directives by the trainer as the network was down and also the organizers can look how can they increase the number of participants as perhaps more media houses would like to participate for their betterment. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">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.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">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. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">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, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">“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.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">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.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">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.</span></div>claudsblogg.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04003185041687906813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8046963138324830512.post-65092186928158439572012-02-02T16:55:00.000+03:002012-02-02T17:00:11.811+03:00Journalists exposed to research via internet<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Wednesday, February, 1, served as the epicenter of the internet training to Bongo Editors. Actually it was as the training dwelled much time in internet uses in everyday journalism. Our trainer, Mr. Peak exposed us into the effective uses of internet in undertaking journalistic activities.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">It featured how to do journalism research via internet particular the techniques of finding useful information in the internet including important questions to bear in mind before venturing into the activity of searching for information as well as the suggested tips for effectively information search.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">“<a href="http://greenbeltmovement.org/w.php?id=61">The planting of trees is the planting of ideas</a>. By starting with the simple act of planting a tree, we give hope to ourselves and to future generations.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">These are words by the late Prof. Wangari Maathai in the course of execution of her perspective of conserving the environment. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Prof. Maathai was a successful African Woman whose great achievements prove wrong the widely conceived notion by most African societies that to educate a girl is to enrich another family to which a girl would be married afterwards.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">In the past most African families preferred to educate sons to their daughters as they saw that educating a girl was useless and wastage of resources.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">On the wake of the significant roles played by women in the society, African families are now educating both males and females.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">But Prof. Maathai was among few African women who managed to secure education during a very difficult period amid deep rooted syndrome that discouraged educating women.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Education background</span></b><span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Prof. Maathai went to school at the inspiration of her elder brother identified by one name of Nderuti. <a href="http://greenbeltmovement.org/w.php?id=61">She received her education under Catholic Missionary nuns and graduated from Loreto Girls’ High School in 1959 before she joined Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas in US where she completed a bachelor degree in Biological Sciences.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"></b></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">In 1966, she earned a masters degree at the University of Pittsburgh and returned to Kenya and worked with the University of Nairobi-School of Veterinary Medicine where she developed her career and in 1971, she received a Ph.D and thus making the first African woman to chair a department at the University and to be appointed a Professor as well.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">After many years of schooling, there reached a period for Prof. Maathai to reap what she had sawn. In the next years Prof. Maathai became an active participant in a number of environmental and humanitarian organizations in Nairobi including the National Council of Women of Kenya (NCWK).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Achievements</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Alongside other activities, Prof. Maathai initiated a women’s Civil Society Organisation named Green Belt Movement (GBM) geared towards advocating for human rights and supporting good governance through environmental conservation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><a href="http://greenbeltmovement.org/w.php?id=61">The GBM was established in 1977 by Prof. Maathai and it initially started as tree planting programme meant to address the problems of deforestation, soil erosion, and scarcity of water but now is a fully empowering women.</a> It has managed to achieve some of its goals including planting about more than 40 million trees throughout African continent and is targeting to plant 1 billion trees worldwide.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">In executing her duties, Prof. Maathai achieved some of her ambitions that included stopping the construction of a skyscraper in Uhuru Park, ending the public land grabbing in Karura Forest, she also helped mothers of political prisoners and eventually freed 51 men who were held by the government.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Importantly, <a href="http://greenbeltmovement.org/w.php?id=61">Prof. Maathai was elected an MP for Tetu constituency in Kenya and appointed by President Mwai Kibaki to be Deputy Minister for the Environment.</a> In the 2007 post election violence, Prof Maathai acted as a mediator for peace, accountability and justice. She also played a very significant role in pressing for inclusion of the rights of all citizens to a clean and health environment in the constitutional making which bear fruits. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Stumbling blocks</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Right from her words that “Every person who has ever achieved anything has been knocked down many times. But all of them picked themselves up and kept going, and that is what I have always tried to do,” Prof. Maathai stumbled into blocks several times.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Together with her colleagues, she was repeatedly beaten, jailed, harassed and publicly disparaged by the Moi rule but she stood firmly and continued with her movements which afterwards made her a respectable women in Kenya and worldwide at large.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Awards and Honours</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">A saying that, ‘Give everyone his due’ proved to be evident when the international community recognized Prof. Maathai’s noble contribution and thus awarded her with several awards.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">In 2004, Prof. Maathai was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of her work for sustainable development, democracy and peace. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Nevertheless, <a href="http://greenbeltmovement.org/w.php?id=61">various governments bestowed on her the following honours;</a> the order of the Rising Sun (Japan, 2009), the Legion D’ Honneur (France, 2006) and Elder of the Golden Heart and Elder of the Burning Spear (Kenya, 2004, 2003). She also received several other awards from organisations and institutions. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Unlike most Africans who are not accustomed to documenting their lives, <a href="http://greenbeltmovement.org/w.php?id=61">Prof. Maathai documented her life, work and perspectives in four books that include;</a> The Green Belt Movement (2003), Unbowed (2006), The Challenge for Africa (2008) and Replenishing the Earth (2010).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Prof. Maathai died in October last year and is survived by her three children and her granddaughter.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">As it is widely accepted that, ‘People dies but ideas live’, people shall live to remember Prof. Maathai’s perspective and it could be wise if most people could embrace her approaches as she was always optimistic as her words suggests.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">“I have always believed that, no matter how dark the cloud, there is always a thin, silver lining, and that is what we must look for.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">”<a href="http://greenbeltmovement.org/w.php?id=61">We cannot tire or give up.</a> We owe it to the present and future generations of all species to rise up and walk!”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Definitely, </span><a href="http://www.newscorp.com/news/news_247.html"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">the speech by Rupert Murdoch to the American society of Newspaper Editors</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> has reminded me a vibrant discussion that emerged in our class just in the previous year when our lecturer for ‘New Media Technologies’ Mr. Charles Irigo posed a question as to whether the new means of communications (internet) should replace the traditional media.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Murdoch’s speech explains eloquently about the role of newspapers in the digital world taking into consideration the technology which has grown significantly. Murdoch says newspaper’s readership is deteriorating greatly and thus necessitating an assessment of the reason behind such a situation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“We’ve sat by and watched while our newspapers have gradually lost circulation. We all know of great and expensive exceptions to this- but the technology is now moving much faster than in the past. Where four out of five Americans in 1964 read a paper everyday, today, only half do,” reads speech in part.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">He says the technology has grown more and thus providing more sophisticated channels through which people can obtain and disseminate information in interactive way. The new means of communication have an advantage of capturing people’s attention given their features of interactivity and hence doing away with the tradition dominance of some few people who decides what people should or shouldn’t get as he says in the speech.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“They don’t want to rely on a god-like figure from above to tell them what’s important. And to carry the religious analogy a bit further, they certainly don’t want news presented as gospel.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">To accommodate the situation Murdoch suggests major improvements in the newspapers’ industry particularly finding out ways to cope with the fast growing technology including using newspapers websites to win hearts and minds of people.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Today as usual the internet training resumed with a brief review of the yesterday's lessons that covered the area of 'How internet has changed societies and communications globally before the trainer switched to new topics prepared for us today.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Today we had an ample opportunity to enjoy the rich materials as well as a well established mode of delivery which is practically oriented backed with an outstanding presentation of Peik Johansson, a journalist by profession and training consultant. Today he exposed us into statistics of internet uses in the world, the most popular sites, internet history and problems associated with the internet without forgetting our daily exercise of creating and posting materials in the blogs.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Due to the effectiveness of the training, I even fail to point out what aspect has interested me than the other one as all carries equal weights. Initially, I thought that I'm much delighted with the statistics of internet users but when it came for most popular sites of the world I was also impressed and so it was for the internet history and the problems associated with internet.</span>claudsblogg.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04003185041687906813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8046963138324830512.post-3165672504104918912012-01-30T17:12:00.000+03:002012-02-02T17:08:10.241+03:00Training on internet uses to journalists<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Journalism as among the most important careers in human development requires highly skilled personnel to execute it. It is not static but it changes and really the changes are positive geared towards improving the career as any newly adopted changes become better over the previous stages.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thus, in order to effectively work, journalists need to seek knowledge through self reading as well as getting trainings that could acquint them with sophisticated techniques to carry out their duties and responsibilities unpartubed. This would enable them to be comptent and work whole heartedly to serve their respective communities.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">To realise this important aspect of journalism, MISA- Tanzania Chapter in collaboration with the Finish Foundation for Media Development has organised a splendid training for editors and sub editors of various media houses in Tanzania. The training is aimed at introducing participants on the best ways to use internet in the modern journalism mainly for fact finding, news monitoring and crosschecking of the facts.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">From today's experience (the 1st day) of the training, there is no doubt that at the end of this training I will be rich on the world wide major sources of information and sophisticated techniques on how to effectively use internet in executing this noble career.</span><br />
