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.”

    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
