haya waandishi wa habari bongo haswa wale wenye degree za TSJ mpo hapo??
uandishi ni field yenye umuhimu mkubwa sana kwa maendeleo ya jamii..bila nyie hii kitu ufisadi tungeujuaje....uandishi una uwezo wa kufichua maovu ya kiuchumi nk..
haya changamkeni muongezee mawe hayos
Martin,
Naungana nawe kwa oni lako la kutambua umuhimu wa uandishi wa habari.Maana tunapozungumzia mihimili ya nchi, ukiachilia bunge, mahakama na utawala, (executive)...media imekuja kuchukua nafasi ya nne kwa umuhimu wake.
Sasa kwa waandishi wa habari, endapo watakuwa wanakomaa na hizi opportunities, hakika naamini kabisa mambo yao binafsi yatakuwa shwari kwa kujiendeleza kielimu, kiuzioefu, na itakua ni faida kwa wengi amabo watabahatika kusoma kazi zako utakazoandika.
Nawasihi watanzania tuwe na desturi ya kuthubutu na sio suala la kuanza kuogopa na kusema tayari wameshachaguana wa kwenda ktk opportunity fulani.
Application kama hii haigharimu kitu, utakuta mtu ana degree yake toka pale IJMC, na anaandikia gazeti fulani habari zake, lakini workshop kama hizi hataki kwenda, then anataka baadae aje kuwa director au editor wa gazeti.
Maoni yangu wandugu
