David Girling shared his presentation which he delivered at #SocialDevKE event at PAWA.
He said, "Maybe I should have said that Twitter is not relevant to many people in Kenya and is still mainly the domain of the middle classes and elites. After talking to the people that attended my talk, I would say that this is a reasonably fair statement."
Get his latest video and slides here.
This video was produced in June 2014 by the School of International Development, University of East Anglia The text and storyboarding were researched by David Girling who teaches on the MA Media and International Development. The animation and graphics were by Evan Kutsko.
David Girling, lecturer and Director of Research Communication in the School of International Development, University of East Anglia will on Thursday be discussing about Social media for mobilising, fundraising and development at Pawa Hub from 6.30pm.
His recent blog post on social media for development was focused on his finding in Kenya.
The hashtag that trended last week #BabaWhileYouWereAway was a highlight moment that was trending in social media in Kenya. David adds that it was humorous and that, "Twitter is gaining a reputation for opening channels of political discourse across the world, but from my two days in Kenya, I am convinced that Twitter is only accessible to the middle classes and elites here due to affordability."
Looking forward to the discussion on 5th June at PAWA254 from 6.30pm, where David Girling and Mark Kaigwa will examine global case studies and apply local and regional insights to internalise lessons for the region.
Does media matter for International Development? By Martin Scott and David Girling This video was produced by David Girling who blogs regularly about social media and international development. Both Martin and David teach on a Masters course (and a forthcoming undergraduate degree) on Media and International Development at the University of East Anglia. The video is about viewing media in 4 ways: As a means to deliver vital information. e.g. Health, food security, preparing for disaster and elections; Media can also be seen as an institution playing a key role in transparency in the society; Media also acts as a window of the world teaching about the lives of other people in other countries;and media is also a means of facilitating dialogue.
