Obama

Oh, I am not able to update this blog as I will like. I am quite busy but I'll do my best. I am anticipating Obama's visit. I do not know why I am excited about it (hahahaha) but perhaps it is because now I understand policies and can communicate about policies at both government's level and international level.
What else to say. check my blog. http://ha81.wordpress.com for update on Obama's visit to Ghana

I am in Senegal now, specifically Dakar. I will be travelling to Saly, another city in Senegal to attend a conference later in the day.

Practising Video

I just tried to upload a video on you tube and I want to try to insert it into this post to see how it works. Thanks to my colleague Giann, I have been able to upload successfully. I still need more practice, so don't be bothered when you see me holding a camera around and taking some pictures, I am just perfecting my skills.

All over the world now people are talking about new media development. On-line, or Internet Journalism is fast becoming trend and statistics from news papers, radio and TV organizations in the Netherlands shows that more young people prefer readng on-line or digital copies of news rather than buying a news paper.

I have been training in the Netherlands at the Radion Netherlands Training Centre for the past six weeks, where I have learnt a lot, including putting audio and video into an on-line feature or article. The advantages of on-line is that one can reach millions beyond his or her own borders. I did this video this morning as a form of practise to test my skills on inserting videos on Line
