The Symposium was made colorful by the dinner awarding ceremony of women media practitioners who have overtime done impactful and life changing works. These distinguished ladies in media were selected from academia, research, management, civil society, mentors, managers, researchers and trainers.
“Naye nyabo wali olabwe ko namagonye omukade? Okimanyi nti abo baffa batto. Nze nkubulila, kumweka kyendiko simulabanga” (But madam have you ever seen an old person living with albinism? Do you know that they die young? Me I tell you that at my age, I have never seen one.)
I have spent quite sometime in the media and served at different levels, but this training has added a big brick on my understanding of media and how it should be organized to cause a positive impact in society. It should not be business as usual. Run to the scene, interview someone or people and go back to the newsroom and expose.
