Journalistic Work

Journalism While in Africa

As I hope this website shows I have significant experience in Tanzania and the Congo to have developed a view or even a valuable opinion. I would like to point out that in addition to going out and doing things – front-line experience; in addition to taking charge and getting things done – for-profit and non-profit entrepreneurship. I have also taken the time and effort to think through the Africa I came to know and love and lay down my views on the particulars.

I did this through journalism. About the time I was becoming involved in Gomba I began to write regularly about Tanzanian and Central African affairs. At first, I published in papers in Dar es Salaam and Arusha but later and more online my work went out through sites in the UK and the States as well.

I hope publishing Lomako and developing the CWS documentary concept will have an effect on the Forests and Savannahs of Africa. Consensus on the status and way forward is needed though one sometimes worries the message is lost in the cacophony of voices,
