Events in Nigeria and Tanzania
Hope you had a good weekend, hacks and hackers! The H/H groups in Tanzania and Nigeria had a busy one.
Nigeria talked about "journalists and the law" while Dar es Salaam shared career advice.
Worth a read:
- Poynter published a guide on how to track what individual or group is behind the political ads you’re seeing on your Facebook feed, and what metrics they’re using to target your feed.
- Journalism job ads are increasingly referencing the word “passion” in their job descriptions, and though it’s a good thing to be passionate about your work, it makes it easier for orgs to leverage your passion against you in the name of capitalism.
- Using data from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, Eva Sibinga set out to measure the amount of unpaid labor we do - from cooking and cleaning to listening to others’ emotions.
