This morning we started the training at 9 o’clock sharp and almost everyone was in class. The first thing to do was to repeat how to add links to the blog postings. The point with the links is that in the online media you can easily provide the route to the original source, which again increases the reliability of your text and is also a service to the reader. With good links on your site, people will probably gladly come back to read your site.
So links have been made to the latest postings on what we did yesterday. Amina Juma, Daily News, Moshi, has written a good and compact report of the programme with several links to international and regional media websites we visited. Seif Jigge, Orkonerei Radio Service, also adds some examples about the simple research assignments we did, searching for capitals, presidents etc.
Here’s a nice report about the “magic of making links”, written by Marko Gideon of IPS News and MISA-Tanzania.
Nakajumo James, the Moshi correspondent of Habari Leo, has surely made the class record in the number of links to other media sites.
Salome Kitomari from the Nipashe newspaper, Moshi, also has many links to African web resources. She says that “from now on, I get something new in my life, because I didn’t know that internet is everything and can help me to collect the information in order to make good stories.”
Marc Nkwame, Daily News, is concentrating on the examples we had on South African media. There you can found some news outlets that exist only online, such as Africa The Good News.
