The Colmena team started the event with a tour of the beginnings of the platform and continued with a hands-on workshop on its functionalities. The online event was held on December 6 and members of the consortium highlighted the relevance of this type of training and showed their interest and commitment in learning more about Colmena’s software. <\/p>\n\n

It will help, especially with persistent network problems,”<\/em> commented Noah Okiru, Station Manager at Echami FM, highlighting the software’s advantage of working in spaces with poor connectivity.<\/p>\n\n Journalists appreciated learning about this new digital experience: “We live in fast-changing digital environments, and we have to adapt quickly,”<\/em> said Samwel Abesi, General Manager at Mitumi Radio.<\/p>\n\n During 2023, Colmena will continue to create spaces for information and dialogue to reach more media and journalists interested in the application.<\/p>\n\n Grand Wave Consortium is a consortium of 15 radio stations spread across Kenya that have diverse national cultures and are deeply committed to locally produced programming and media content.<\/p>\n\n
