Exciting third day of our Internet training

We started well with full internet connection on our computers. So, we visited various websites as usual based on todays theme of journalistic activities on the internet. Therefore, it was obvious we learn and familiarize ourselves with the different news sites on the internet IPS News, IFJ. Among of those sites we visited are local tanzania newspapers, radio and television stations. The most surprising issue I discover into our local media in Tanzania is that there are no updates to our websites. I can't figure out the reasons behind this. Later we came across through international newspapers, news agencies,and various television stations websites.

I came to realize that most of local journalists do not visit different internet websites as their source of information and critically analyse some issues related to our local content "Media Power and Politics".

As a communicator the knowledge of internet is very much important. This is because through the internet one can read and access so many information online and have enough knowledge when communicating with people. The challenge is also into our working environment where you find there are no enough computers and reliable internet connections. But still people can do an extra efforts by may be buying private modem and use them into their own PC. In this era of the digital and information age journalists and communicators should have the contemporary knowledge on everything. Therefore, it is also a challenge for the media owners to empower their jounalists so that they can write critical and analytical reports. On the contrary they can't do that while the working environment don't correspond with their skills.

The most interesting and exciting thing of today's activity was that, I came to understand various news and academic websites which are useful to my field of knowledge. MISA-TAN

It happened that before tea break everything went well regarding to the internet connections. Unfortunately, when we came back the internet went down and made our noon difficulty.

The good thing was that when we come back from lunch the internet was back and we saw lots of websites. Then we had a practical assignments on how to search different information on google.
