White African discussing mobile reporting in Africa, “Netherland’s based AfricaNews has been a pioneer in this space, starting last year with their “Voices of Africa” section of their site. I’ve been continually impressed with how they find, train and equip their journalists all over Africa.”

Rombo of What an African woman thinks criticises a recent article by Mathew Parris for The Times UK titled “As an atheist, I truly believe Africa needs God“. And she wonders: “why does everybody assume that no African had ever climbed the mountain before the adventurous foreigner came along and did it, and taught him how? (For porter’s sake, of course.) Who’s to say, definitively and conclusively? So the lion hasn't published his memoirs, is that ample basis on which to conclude that the hunter was always the victor?”

Hi Ndesanjo
I am reading for an MA in Journalism at Wits University in Johannesburg and am interested in the use of mobiles in reporting as well as interacting with news items.
Are you aware of any other projects? What about sms news alerts??
Any additional thoughts/advice you may have would be gratefully received.
Cheers
Craig
