Cnn multichoice african journalist 2011 finalists announced

[nngu007]

* Journalism can never be silent: that is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air.
Our Tanzanian Journalist never allow us as readers to witness history; fiction and an opportunity to learn and an opportunity to live it.
NO ONE IN TZ WON EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE THE BEST JOURNALISM SCHOOL IN AFRICA.
