I am a self-motivated journalist working in Tanzania. My coverage area includes poverty, water, reproductive health and environment. I am ready to learn and explore new emerging issues in science so that I can give my readership stories that will help them make the right decisions.
I am most interested in climate change, I feel that though there has been so much talk about it, very few people now about it and it’s effect to our world. I feel there is a need to tell the public about climate change in a simpler way so that those folks back in the rural areas can understand the whole concept of climate change. For me to be able to break it down for the consumption of my readers, I need to understand it. I would love to get more information on this.
