DAY ONE TRAINING ON INVESTIGATIVE INTERNET JOURNALISM

 Hi guys wherever you are, Yesterday on October 19, 2011, I got training on Investigative Internet Journalism which conducted at Tanzania Global Development Learning Centre (TGDLC) in Dar es Salaam City, Tanzania.
The training was facilitated by Peik who is a Journalist from Finland. Before going direct to the Investigative Internet Journalism, Mr Peik gave us the definition in general of Investigative Journalism, that is a form of journalism in which reporters deeply investigate a topic of interest, it can be Crime, political, Corporate wrongdoing etc.
There after we discussed on Investigative Internet Journalism by digging inside of it and explaining the different between Investigative Journalism and Investigative Internet Journalism.
A large part of yesterday training was theory apart from we opened some of the websites for more clarifications on how to investigate the Internet Journalism.
The following here under are some of the websites which we browsed during that training;
Before jumping to those websites we learnt just a little bit concerning Investigative Journalism Manual whereby in this we discussed about the Social Media where we can get investigative comments from different people on a certain issue which can be posted in those Socila media.
