What was the hardest part of this project?

Uniting the social media creators with the mainstream media is not easy, the traditional media peers in our locality didn’t welcome the idea, they didn’t support us in this project, but as a news publication both print and online, we believe in the new generation as our future, maybe not directly as a news writers, but a good storytellers that can create impact and positive vibes in the community. 

Maybe we are doing some innovative approach in educating the young mind about the future of media in our province, a time that you don’t need a degree but the training we provide is all that they need. The financial aspect is next in the hardest part, as a new player in the news industry in the City, we don’t have many funds to this kind of event, we aim to make it free to the public that we have to shoulder some expenses from the venue to the snacks provided, and some prayers for some speakers to offer a free service, in which they did that make this knowledge sharing seminar a success.

The seminars aim to educate the almost 30 participants on how to create content, that is inspiring and can gain followers, we give them technical knowledge in video shooting and production, making them realize what is the best brand you can do in posting your videos online, and connect them to other community of content creators in the country today.
