I am Jabir Idrissa, the editor of MwanaHALISI newspaper in Tanzania. The newspaper, which is a weekly, is right now banned by the government on claim that it was publishing seditious material. I am one of ten participants in the Investigative Internet Journalism Training, organised by the Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA), Tanzania Chapter, in collaboration with the Finnish Foundation for Media, Communication and Development. Our instructor is Mr. Peik Johansson, a Finnish who has been conducting such training all over the country.
The Investigative Internet Journalism Training is one that gives us opportunity to refresh our minds in the knowledge about how best we could use internet to search information from various sources in the internet and write stories which have public interest. To be able to know widely the essence of the training one needs to be well acquainted with the Investigative Journalism (IJ) skills. It is an in-depth way of looking into events which have not been exposed possibly because of fear of the repression by the government.
I am always saying that this type of training is execellent. Present time journalism is in deer need of a kind of training.
