I am ...Adam, flattery will get you anywhere:-)) my. I am glad Ghana is getting enlightened on that, also. Challenges remain, such as ensuring that the sub-region is affected, considering the strategic point of the ICT Centre, but I guess we'll get there.<BR/><BR/>Video journalism is all exciting, innit, but I have to say that I espouse a visceral belief that journalists are far from dead. In the long run, these are TOOLS, TOOLS, and TOOLS, NOT substitutes.

Lives for journalists like us are going to change dramatically over the next 5-10 years especially with the advent of video journalism and VNOD...all very exciting!<BR/><BR/>...But I don't think bloggers are threatening proper journalists..most bloggers (your good self excepted of course!) are rubbish! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
