Digital Citizen Indaba
The digital citizen indaba started yesterday. Bloggers from all over the continent and abroad came to the conference. The opening address discussed how we can get better news coverage as journlaists by partnering with bloggers from countries that are hardly ever covered. Then there was the editor's forum that discussed the means and ways that some editors have used blogging to the advantage of the companies that they work for. The debates that occured were stimulating and thought provoking. The spees speaking session also enlightened us on various topics such as how blogging can be used to inform th epublic about certain things such as finance, we also discussed the importanceof having wikipedia in different languages and so forth. It was really interesting, don't have much time to discuss the details right now but since I have to go listen to the panel of "we the mediae", but I'll come back with more detailed report, so watch this space.
