The third and last day of the training in Investigative Internet Journalism, October 26, was a really a wonderful day. After a stint of recapping, we did assignment which the training instructor chose yesterday for us all.
A bit misunderstanding that all of us participants believed we had to do all three journalistic works which he gave us before we left on Thursday. Truly it was just one of those three stories which are Coca Cola in India, Shell in Nigeria and China and Africa: Opportunity and Challenges. Then everybody chose one and we did.
It was a huge assignment which needed more time since everyone had to spend at least two hours to have a complete story published in own blog. My observation had it that some participants spent more than two hours seaching information. Then they needed at least one and half hours to write and publish the story in their blogs.
After at least two hours I was through, something which was possible because I arrived at the training venue ahead of normal time, 9 ocklock morning and the internet was very fast.
Thereafter, the instructor did little lecturing after what he had observed from every participant. His lecturing touched on the setbacks which one faced in doing assignment.
Came lunch after fall of midday.
We spent afternoon session to furnish our stories publishing in the blogs with a big challenge to make links in between the stories. This was an essential part in the training since it is important that we journalists leade readers to the sources whereby we searched information.
Yes, it was like that. Finally came the Chairperson of MISA-TAN, Mohamed Tibanyendera for closing the training.
