Infotech TV Show: Disseminating ICT knowledge through media


Description

Most people in developing countries are in the deepest part of digital divide between those who have access to technology and those who do not. This is also the fact in Ethiopia.
To bridge this digital divide, media as a knowledge transforming channel, can play a great role in creating and raising the awareness about ICT and its usage.

It is with this understanding that InfoTech TV show launched.

This weekly 40 minutes magazine style show aired on ETV 3 nationally and via Nilesat globally, is dedicated to helping Ethiopian audiences everywhere use and understand technology to simplify their lives.
