Advances in information and communications technologies (ICTs) are changing the local media dynamic. Representatives of several NGOs gathered for a two day training workshop this week, to learn new ways to interact with their audiences. The workshop organised by the Seychelles Gender and Media Association, GEMPLUS was conducted by three local media professionals.
Participants learned the art of blogging, how to use their mobile phones to gather news and other online devices such as chatting and e-news letter to bring their content to their customers. They can now use their new found skills and rely less on the traditional media to disseminate their information.
The workshop was sponsored by UNDP, in its effort to promote media freedom and access to information.
