INTERNET WORKSHOP FOR LAKE ZONE JOURNALISTS

DAY III

Speaking of journalism, one can not put aside what we call sources of information. Traditionally, we spoke about eyes and ears, individuals, press releases, other media, to mention a few.

In this 21st century, internet is included in everyday journalism. For instance instead of listening radio and watching television news, you can also read those news through the sites. Examples of those news sites are ippmedia.com, darhotwire.com, mwananchi.co.tz, reuters.com, startv.co.tz, allafrica.com, etc. Internet has multiplied the potential sources.

The modern technology allows journalist to use email as a tool for interviewing sources of information. But the critical issue here is that you might be contacting with improper sources.

And the most challenge in using internet materials is plagiarism because it is easier now for users to copy ideas without acknowledging the one developed those ideas. Therefore, copyrighting is crucial for a person to defend his or her rights on the project, activity or a concerned idea.

Basically, journalistic research assignments can be done in internet. It is through internet where you can find facts and background information. You must take into consideration that what and where you want to get those materials.
