Interview with:Jacobus van Eeden [jacobusvaneeden]
JOURNALISM
 | What is your specialty? What subjects do you deal with? I specialise in tech and social media journalism, especially in emerging markets. |
| In which media do you presently work or have you worked? I'm currently a writer for Memeburn.com focussing on emerging markets. Perviously I was a marketing manager for Panda Security International in charge of Sub-Saharan Africa and a marketing manager for Dax Data, a official Adobe distributor for Southern Africa. |
| Please list a web address where where one can view an example of your work. www.memeburn.com |
| Do you feel that analytical and investigative journalism is being lost? No, blogging and the web in general has opened the way the 'news' is being reported up, but for a deeper understanding of an issue or quality analysis the paper and and classic investigative journalist is still the best source of information. |
| Would you say the journalism blog is revolutionizing the profession? Yes, it has given new life to a profession that used to be only for the few who worked at papers ect, but with the age of blogging 'journalism' has become a domain that is no longer restricted. Everyone can be a journalist now, but that doesn't mean that every blogger is one. |
BLOGGING
| What blogging system have you adopted and why? I tend to favour Wordpress, since it's so well supported and has an over-abundance of plugins and extensions. |
