Tech: Inside 02 African news innovations with serious potential as from 2013
Certain are so amazing ,others more innovatives let you find out :
US based Hip Hop show host
Jackson Mvunganyi (originally from Rwanda) and multimedia journalist Ricci
Shryock want to team up with local African musicians to create a weekly “news”
song delivered by MMS to convey the news in an educational and entertaining
way.
The duo would also like to do
a kickoff concert tour to promote the new product and gather local feedback.
The project will encourage interactivity by allowing listeners to use their
mobile phones to suggest news topics and themes.
Local languages in Ghana and
neighboring countries that form the KWA language group cannot be written on
computers because there is no computer keyboard and software for these
languages — glyphs do
exist for majority of the characters but they are scattered in different
fonts.
A team of four will develop
the software and keyboard format needed for text entry.
