So how many media outlets are online without getting physically in print? There should be tens of thousands but some of those we visited in the third day of computer training simply redefine journalism.
Bad news is what makes good reporting right? Well wrong or at least not as far as ‘Africa Good News’ website is concerned. Here you get to read totally positive and inspiration articles about the continent whose only mention in international media involves war, poverty and diseases.
At ‘Africa-good-news' you get to read about the continent’s tourism potential, outstanding personalities and other achievers in various fields ranging from sports, community development and even politics.
The Mail & Guardian may have struggled with native South Africans during their struggle against apartheid but having existed from the early 1900s it could possibly be the oldest publication on the continent.
The M&G website is a constantly updated one unlike its print version which comes out once a week (Fridays) but the paper is a living example that old shouldn’t be necessarily be ‘old-fashioned’ because ‘Mail and Guardian’ reads better than most newcomers in the media business.
