Wow, I bet #GIJC2017 will be great. I cant wait to be there and learn, network, interact with media practioctioners from all over the globe. I attended #AIJC16 last year and it was such an eye opener. Just the kind of networking that I needed. I was particularly struck by the cross-border collaboration sessions and after the conference, I initiated a whatsapp group with more than 20 journalists who I met at WITS. We share tips, story ideas, contacts, sources and alerts on upcoming media trainings & workshops. I am looking forward for this year’s event. Thanks WITS and GIJN for organising this
