The focus this week was improving balky internet service at ICFJ projects, while UNTL students edge closer to the day they can sit behind the mic at Radio Akademika, the university's new radio station.
Oscar Lusio Selly, ICFJ's finance officer and resident IT expert, visited the Regional Media House in Baucau this week to assess a new satellite internet service. His mission was to check it out and see if it is a viable solution to slow and expensive service that is hampering journalists trying to work in the regions.
If he's impressed, it could be a solution to providing internet to new regional media houses under development in Maubisse, Suai and Oecusse. It might also be a way to upgrade service at the student newsroom at the National University of Timor-Leste (UNTL).
The UNTL students are moving closer to getting on the air at Radio Akademika. They spent the week recording interviews and editing them into news stories with Cool Edit, under the supervision of Francez Suni.
And soon they'll get a chance to watch a pro at work as ICFJ trainer Paula Rodrigues inaugurates a radio program at Radio Akademika. She's planning news and interviews. |
