Help Promote Blogging in Zimbabwe

Submitted by oso on Wed, 2005/03/09 - 3:08pm.

The Zimbabwean web portal, inZIM.com is currently looking for a blogger volunteer to help assist with some of the administrative tasks in keeping the site fresh and updated.

This project requires nothing more than spending a few minutes each day classifying the news items which come in via allAfrica.com. But for those interested in and passionate about the spread of decentralized new media where government otherwise censors mainstream media and restricts free speech, inZIM.com presents the perfect opportunity to create positive change.

In addition to classifying incoming news feeds, the web portal could also use a face lift to ease and speed up navigation. The current administrator, Babak Fakhamzadeh, says he would not be opposed to switching the portal over to a new platform like CivicSpace if the right volunteer steps up.

inZIM.com generates 20,000 page feeds per month and comes up second after searching Google for "Zimbabwe blogs." With the right volunteer, the web portal could become an even greater resource for Zimbabweans to express themselves as well as communicate their experiences directly with the international community.

If you are interested in volunteering or have any questions, please leave a comment below. And please help spread the word on your own blogs. BloggerCorps succeeds in its mission when it is widely linked to throughout the blogosphere.

Am willing to have a look at classifying newsfeeds daily. What does it entail? How much time each day? Lynda
