I work for Chronicle,
a daily newspaper in Zimbabwe’s second largest city, Bulawayo. Coming
to Sweden and meeting colleagues from different parts of the world was
an eye-opener for me. Coaching, street journalism, newsroom leadership,
organization and ethics are some of the concepts I learnt from my three-week
sojourn.

Yenia
Rivarola The main gift of being a journalist is to meet people. And when you
meet, you learn. To me this profession is a constant learning process.
Writing news for almost ten years now- has also taken me to many places
in the world and the green Sweden is one of them. I am here today, taking
some time to think and to dream, along with colleagues from Africa,
Asia, America and Europe, about how to build democracy from journalism
and in journalism. e-mail: yeniarivarola@hotmail.com

Peter Odyambo I am
a journalist who has weathered severe storms in the profession for the
last 22 years now. I work as a news editor for Radio Uganda, a state owned
station. At close to 50, the temptation for many would be to throw in
the towel given the bad working conditions. I would concur. But to you
colleagues out there I say let us say NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER to those
who are always out to gag us. Let us fight on.

Rania Oteify Egypt As an Egyptian business and finance reporter, I have chosen to take a long bumpy road to make a difference instead of hiding my head in the sand. In Egypt, we have Pyramids. Pyramids? Yes, we have them along with millions of poor people, business elite, Nobel Laureates and reporters, who struggle daily to nurture our young independent journalism. e-mail: rerevival@yahoo.com |

Dushiyanthini Kanagasabapathipillai Sri Lanka Journalism is more passion than profession. How easy is it to be a female Journalist in Asia, especially a war-ravaged country like Sri Lanka? Working for eleven years a Journalist, I have witnessed people suffering and seen fellow Journalists paying the price for covering the war in the recent past. Many Journalists have lost their lives, some left the country while others live in fear. Do you want to challenge yourself as I do? e-mail: dushisrilanka@yahoo.com |

Brighton Phiri Responsible journalism is easier said than done. Have you ever thought a journalist should place his or her head on a chopping board for the sake of the people? Working for an independent (The Post) newspaper in a country whose democracy is in its infancy, has enabled me to know the seed of my fate as a journalist. Have you met your fate?

Laura Charry Is it dangerous to be a journalist in Colombia? The answer is yes and no. Despite being one of the most violent countries in South America, Colombia has plenty of positive things to show at both domestic and international level.
As a journalist, working in the business section of El Tiempo, the biggest newspaper in Colombia, I discovered that journalism can be fatal if practiced without passion and conviction of the responsibility of serving the public. We can share more.

Houria Alioua If you speak you die. If you keep silent you die. So, speak and die.
This is the face of our journalism profession in Algeria. Despite this ugly face, journalism is the source of passion, happiness, human contact and knowledge. I am currently working for El Watan, an independent daily newspaper, El Wahat local Radio and Algerian National Radio channel 3 with the hope that one day democracy will be a reality and journalism more professional and less dangerous.
