It is the final day of the three days training on investigative internet training. The training has to a large extend reached my expectation, I have gained a lot on how to explore more with search words links and follow on different background.

The third day training has been fully on writing a story assignment on Gas in Mtwara. It has been long and extensive, i have learned to plan my story and come up with search words. Although it was not easy, i have managed to make time plan in order to formulate a story.

The whole training had full of interesting assignment and how to handle them. From day one we listed our objective and try to achieve them in the training. We learn and defined investigative on internet, how to use Google to search for facts and figures, i also added into my list a list of internet resources on investigative journalism.

UNDERSTANDING GAS SECTOR IN TANZANIA

Foreign countries are have entered the sector of oil and gas in Tanzania due to the discovery of the gas particularly in Mtwara region.

Oil and gas

To understand the industry one has to understand the meaning of oil and gas, there are several definition both complicated and simple, but in short they all imply that oil and gas are fossilfuels which are deposits buried from the dead organisms for many millions of years sometimes exceeding 650Milion years.

These deposits have high percentage of carbon which includes coal, petroleum and natural gas.

Tanzania has been blessed with wide reserves of natural gas. Natural gas is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas (chemical combination of hydrogen and carbon gas) with a mixture of methane.

With natural gas there are a lot of benefit a country can rip while at the same time there are a lot of challenges involved.

 

SECOND DAY IN THE TRAINING

 We had tips on journalistic research on internet, where we explored about 11 tips on how to succeed on internet investigative stories.

We also had several exercises on how to search for more stories on the internet while taking into account yesterday and today’s lessons. Some of these stories were :-

Chipolopolo’s game match with Brazil

The accusation of Uhuru Kenyatta over ICC

About Smart Kigali

After the searching exercise we had to pick one of the above topics and write a story for posting into the created blogs.

The facilitator pointed out some of the investigative stories which are famous and commonly in use.

These are: wikileak.org., fairereport.org and crionline.org

And finally we had a discussion on the upcoming assignment and how to tackle them.

The research assignement i did and planning

I did assignment on Zambia Fans wishes well Chipolopolo

On facebook wall of  Football Association of Zambia (FAZ), fans have been sending well wishes while expressing their feelings about the match. It is “David Vs Goliath as Chipolopolo romances with Samba Dance” post reads on the facebook page.

With 158 likes and 120 comments from the time it was posted,  James Phiri posted “ It`s zambia for life no matter what will do it”. While other fans have lost hope due to the fact that some players won’t  play the match due to injuries and sickness.

Capturing the moments

Imma Mbuguni

My father taught me one important thing in life, ‘moments’, it is moments that gives you the best experiences in life. Each one of us has moments in life that they would like to remember, and when they do remember these moments’ lifts up emotions in different ways.

My name is Imma Mbuguni, I’m not writing a story rather use the above explanation to capture your attention. I work for Majira, dally Swahili national circulating paper in Tanzania.  My job involves editing stories and deciding which story is to be used on the paper.

Again the reason why I started with a story is because as a journalist I have a great interest with photography, apart from investigative photo journalism I find a great joy once I preserve moments.

I believe we should all do what makes us happy, or at least enjoy what we are doing.

I am currently at the Tanzania Global Learning Agencies, attending training on investigative internet journalism and one of the first tasks is to open a blog, where I chose to open Kivuli blog.

My expectation on this training is to strengthen my internet skills on internet investigative journalism in background gathering.

I hope you will enjoy this blog and make it your most preferred page J

Thank you and enjoy it
