Citizen Journalists receive certificates

Twenty-one Citizen Journalists received a certificate in Citizen Journalism after successfully finishing the six week training course at Grocott’s Mail newspaper in Grahamstown, South Africa.

Pictured here are Carol Strodl, arts and crafts sales manager, who’s story about vegetable gardens was published in the print edition. Dabula Maxam, unemployed, wrote about employment opportunities in Grahamstown and was also published in the print edition of Grocott’s Mail. Zoli Sakata, far right in the picture, wrote about a family who received a government funded toilet…instead of a house.

The fourth CJ course, which is the second that is facilitated by EvN Media, will start on 19 April 2010. Application forms are available online.
