Hi Bill,

I hope that you keep visiting their blogs and leaving comments. Denna, especially, seems like she’ll be one fantastic sports blogger.

Rosebell,

In all of our workshops here I used your blog as an example of how a successful journalist can effectively use blogging to get more stories and make a name for oneself internationally. Congratulations on your much-deserved Waxal award.

I heard about this program from a friend. I think this is a great step for African journalists to know that they don’t have to senior for them to ahve space to air their views on their communities beyong just normal reporting. This is even more important in African countries where media freedom is limited. I am a Ugandan journalist and blogger and I find my blog is like my own voice.

Excellent idea David to organize that workshop for journalism students in Liberia. I visited some of the blogs of the students and left a message at Denna’s place. I do hope that all of the new Liberian blog authors keep at it for many years because over time they will not only hone their writing skills as journalists, they will also make new friends the world over.

I also visited your personal blog (via a comment link) and am very, very envious of your one-day visit to Robertsport. Time.com ran a story on the place a few years ago ‘Tell Charles Taylor We’re Surfing’ and some students from Stanford University produced a documentary film about the beautiful coastal town. I’ve been fascinated with the place ever since and hope that someday Robertsport will reach its potential to be one of the most beautiful seaside (eco)-tourist areas in West Africa.
