Perspective: Every journey of thousands miles begins with a
single step.
Michuzi Blog is a community blog owned by Issa Michuzi and
available in Kiswahili language. The blog is mostly read by Tanzanians since it
is the only blog that gives quality informations compare to the other. The blog
was created in 2005 by the Daily News photojournalist Issa Michuzi.
Mr. Michuzi set up his blog for the first time when he met
Ndesanjo Macha in Helsinki, Finland. Mr MIchuzi had accompanied the former
Tanzanian foreign minister who now is the President of United Republic of Tanzania
Dr. Mrisho Jakaya Kikwete. His blog continued to gain popularity whereas in
2008 he started to play tricks on his readers on April Fools’ Day.

The Blog is updated every day with news content that are
related to Tanzania. Also the blog is mostly used by diaspora to get news
content from the country. It is considered the best blogger since it is quick
at posting quality and reliable information for the readers. Aside from posting
news, the blog also receive posts concerning advertisements, marriage
announcement, birthdays, and graduation ceremony ads just to mention few.
The blog actually started with one
photojournalist who had to go around searching for informations and post them
on the blog till when he employed other journalists. His blog is the best
leading blog for not only quality news but also immediate access to information
that is needed by his readers. The blog has now in a day more than 80% visitors
in Tanzania, 7% in South Africa and 4% in the United States. He also received
an award in 2011 as Best Political Blog at the 1st Annual Tanzanian
Blog Awards and 2012 Local Digital Media Award by Vodacom Awards for Digital
Excellence. He is really an inspirational to me and other journalists whereas
everyone in Tanzania after graduating from Journalism School starts their blog.
