DigiActive.org seeks Africa Correspondents


DigiActive.org is seeking volunteer correspondents to write about digital activism in Africa. Please direct inqueries to Mary Joyce (Mary@digiactive.org).

What is DigiActive? DigiActive is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to helping grassroots activists around the world use mobile phones and the Internet to increase their impact. Our goal is a world of activists made more powerful and more effective through the use of digital technology.

What will the DigiActive Africa Correspondent(s) do? One of the ways DigiActive pursues its mission of promoting digital activism is by writing up best practices of digital activism around the world.

The Africa Correspondent(s) will write posts for DigiActive about how activists in Africa are using digital technology in their campaigns for social and political change. Some African digital activism cases that have previously been featured on DigiActive include the No More than 24 campaign from Kenya and the Election Watch Map from Zimbabwe. And we expect more to come!

The Africa Correspondent(s) will also be responsible for cross-posting on this Kabissa blog, so you get to be publish each post you write on two web sites for double the authorship credit!

Ideally we ask correspondents to write one post per week, though there is some flexibility depending on your schedule and other commitments.

Sounds great! Where to I sign up? If you are interested in becoming a volunteer correspondent for DigiActive, please contact Mary@digiactive.org. We look forward to hearing from you!
