MISATAN to sharpen Bloggers & Editors’ skills

on RTI, Election Reporting

Gasirigwa GS

The

Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA) Tanzania Chapter in association with

the Centre for ICT Policy promotion in Africa (CIPESA) will tomorrow train a

selected number of bloggers and editors on Right to Information with special

focus on this year’s general election.

Editors

and bloggers will be taught on the safest ways to access information and report

responsibly during campaigns and the entire election period. Attention will be

directed to the Cyber crime and the Statistics Acts which are already in effect

and have dire consequences on media practice.

Participants

will also be introduced to ‘The Broadcasting Services (Content) (The Political

Party Elections Broadcasts) Code 2015’ which was gazetted on June 26, 2015.

Bloggers, SMS pollsters, and broadcasters in general will seriously be affected

by this Code. The Code was developed by the Tanzania Communication Regulatory

Authority (TCRA).

About

20 selected Dar es Salaam-based editors and bloggers have confirmed to take

part in this one-day workshop, scheduled for tomorrow Thursday the 27^th

of August at Kebbys Hotel in Dar es Salaam.

Similar

training was held two weeks ago in Mwanza and drew participants from Geita,

Mara and Mwanza itself. The Mwanza training specifically targeted journalists

who basically cover rural areas.

MISATAN and CIPESA believe that

the media needs to responsibly serve the public in a way that will

provoke positive engagement and subsequent improvement in the political

administration of the country.
