Sharing the seeds of ICT

Pic:A TEST, Itai Mushekwe in our newsroom

I came back home on Sunday the 15th my mind stocked with the seeds of the course i had done at Rhodes University about Digital revolution and its impact on our societies. I was eager on sharing this experience with most of my friends in the same profession and see how best we as the journalistic community in Zimbabwe and abroad could maximise the knowledge I gained to best use. Iam proud to mention that i have two converts and one of them (Itai Mushekwe from the Zimbabwe Independent) has shown some interest in the subject. I felt i had to spread this information wide, to most of my friends in Africa and the developed world, for them to come up with valuable comments about their experience and possibly tap some valuable lessons from their side as well. We need to share more information about the Digital revolution and its impact to society and the journalistic profession. The internet is wrecking havoc on media and journalism. Journalism is changing in character as a result of it.I felt that some of the courses i did, such as use of the Internet as a source of information and news, digital story telling and how to write news on the web and blogging could be further expanded upon by learning how other guys from different countries, are making use of these vital tools in communication. Probably i could also tap one thing or two and help spread this vital piece of information in my country. Africa and Zimbabwe is ready for the digital revolution, but it also needs us, journalists to drive this revolution ahead by making as much information available.
Lets exchange notes guys about this new wave and lets help Africa develop!!!!!!! Any comments are most welcome.
