Second day of the workshop

On the second day of the workshop we studied about the use of internet in everyday journalism.
We were able to open our own bogs and posted the fast document which was actually based on the previous day’s topics.

After opening the blog we went further visiting various websites including, the government of Tanzania's website, the parliament website and other journalistic websites from Europe Africa and Asia, these included webs of all Tanzanian Newspapers that are online, and the TV stations which broadcast online like star tv, ITV and the kenyan NTV all of which have links ''to youtube website''

Others include the Daily monitor of Uganda,Daily Nation, of Kenya, Mail and Guardian of South Africa, Guardian of UK, Al-jazeera, and BBC to mention but few.
We also visited websites of some news agencies like Reuters, allafrica, IPS, IRIN and Kafoi among others, the main objective of the session was to study how internet has assisted daily journalistic assignments.

Finally, the only problem we encountered was slow internet network that caused unnecessary time wastage.
