I think ICT knowledge is important for any journalist or communicator. For you to be armed well in your trade which involves giving information, it is important to have access to information. As an environmental journalist, I have and still continues to benefit greatly from my little ICT knowledge.
Journalists are change agents, but they must have the will and hunger for change before they can initiate or speed up the process of change.
Of course we are faced with a lot of challenges in terms of resource and capital, being a continent that is battling to feed its own, and to many ICTs might look like a dream. But, we need to strive and make it a reality.
