Second day of the internet training sessions and we get to discover even more media websites ranging from those offering Radio and Video streams to weekly newspapers as well as never seen before (at least to us) local online publications.
We get to understand why some people prefer websites like ‘Habari Leo’ which loads faster even on slow network and Mwananchi which features plenty of interactive comments from its readers and even saucy, periodical tabloids have made it on line which means even the male population which wouldn’t want to be seen holding such a publication in public can enjoy a good snoop in the confinement of their laptops.
And who would have known that a newspaper like Majira do publish its contents online through a blog? Not a bad idea as long as it is done properly like Majira did. Oh, love it or hate it the (CCM) party owned ‘Uhuru’ also claims own share of bytes online and so does ‘Tanzania Daima’ alleged to be a publication of CHADEMA though its representatives argue it is not.
Judging from the response of participants today, internet is quite an interesting portal into another world of abundant information, media and entertainment not just a working tool for sending stories or receiving press releases.
