“Journalists need them. And there’s a few, you’ll see some news-related things here today. And some of them should be useful for your own personal endeavors as well, because if you are not online, if you are not showing up online, it’s almost as if you are not doing anything.

“One thing I noticed is that people that are not putting out their content, they are not showing up online, they would not get as much opportunity. Sometimes they have more experience, and they have more knowledge, but because they are not showing up, a lot of times, they don’t get the opportunities that they need,” Mrs. Akinfenwa noted.

While highlighting the importance of the training to practicing Journalists, Mrs. Akinfenwa said: “There’s so much information that needs to be passed out, you know, in order to, so that people can be better citizens. They can go about their business well.

“So things like this will facilitate communication. They will make it very easy for the news people, the Journalists, the writers, to churn out content quickly so that people can easily digest easily. And then things can go, the economy, society, things can go on smoothly because information dissemination is way faster and more effective.
