Top CNN Journalist Drills Botswana Broadcasters

The senior CNN news writer and editor is in the country courtesy of the American Embassy in Gaborone. He has been interacting with local broadcasters (TV and radio) to share ideas and experiences on how to move forward and catch up with the developed world. Last week, he conducted a workshop at the newly revamped e-Botswana (formerly GBC), the first and oldest television station in the country.

He said he was impressed by the determination and intelligence of the young people who dominate the local broadcasting industry. He said those he had already worked with showed hunger to learn. "Experience and maturity is essential, but we should always provide room for young people to learn because they are innovative and still full of energy," he said.
