Closing ceremonies of @eaca2017. It's been an interesting and informative 2.5 days.

In case you were wondering, a one-minute death announcement that runs twice cost less than $200. #EACA2017

[SMEAJ Project @smeaj_project]

Tidbit of the day: A small Kenyan TV station has found a source of revenue: death announcements. I ran 99 in one recent month. #EACA2017

[SMEAJ Project @smeaj_project]

The last Saturday of every month is a national work day where the entire country helps clean up. #EACA2017 #Rwanda #funfacts

The second day of the East African Communication Association Conference starts early because we have to be off the streets from 7 to noon.

Something I just learned: There was no journalism training in Rwandan universities until after the genocide. #EACA2017

Interesting talks on media at #EACA2017. I said "The debate we're having today is in many ways a public health issue for our democracies".
