A couple of weeks ago I went down to the Highway Africa conference in Cape Town, which was excellent. The theme of the conference was African Media and Global Sustainability Challenge and sessions looked at citizen journalism, Internet security, media innovation and the use of social media in the newsroom.
Apart from the fascinating seminars I attended, I’d also been short-listed for the Highway Africa New Media Awards and am happy to report that I came runner-up in the NGO category for my work with the Ulwazi Programme, with impressive globe-shaped trophy as proof!
