Two 4th year new media students (Gregor Rohrig and Carly Ritz) recently set up a fantastic new South African journalism resource called Jo’s Toolkit (play on Journalist’s Toolkit).
As Gregor explains:
Jo’s Toolkit is a journalism resource. We have especially targeted the student and grassroot media as potential users for this site. It allows anyone to submit content, to comment on content, to download documents (such as style guides or workshops), with the aim of aiding, stimulating and developing student and grassroot media.
I hope you’ll agree that this is a wonderful intiative and deserves much praise from all the journalism students and practioners that will no doubt use it from all over the country.
PS – Don’t say anything about the lego man (AKA ‘Jo’)… he was my idea!
