Yesterday we covered on the use of internet in everyday journalism especially researching news from various websites. We have also learnt how to create website blogs where one can post texts, pictures as well as other materials than can be stored and disseminated on the net for different purposes.
We visited various blogs and websites including the websites of the government of Tanzania, Tanzania Standards Newspapers, Mwananchi Communications, IPP Media, Sahara Communications, Tanzania Online, Tanzania National Parks, CRDB, BBC, CNN, ALJAZEERA TV and other websites.
All websites impressed me since they provide variety information to suit the desired audience. However I was not happy with the blogs contained obscenity and pornographic materials.
I observed various things when I was surfing on those blogs and websites.Some websites such as BBC SWAHILI do not up to date their texts including news.Some statistics remained unchanged on the website. This can lead to distortion to people who use information from those sites. Secondly some blogs contained obscenity and pornographic materials something is immoral and dangerous to youth. Theutamu.blogspot.com is one among them.
Problems I faced yesterday during the session include the slowness of the server of the network we are working on. This however made us spent a lot of time surfing on websites. The procedures of creating a new blog to me was quite difficult especially registering the password and others particulars. Sometimes it forced me to repeat the procedure for several times. This was however bored me.
