-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [TIER] citizen reporting startup in Kenya Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2017 08:04:05 -0700 From: Temina Madon <tmadon@berkeley.edu> To: tier@tier.cs.berkeley.edu If you are, or know, a great developer who wants to contribute to media freedom in Africa, please take a look at this opportunity <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W0K9RspL8enQlriFQfHkowRaewxHjgr9lwX6nMyp8w0/edit> to be the new CTO of HiviSasa <https://www.linkedin.com/company-beta/5385959/>. Media is very controlled in most of sub-Saharan Africa, and the internet offers a chance for people with different voices to come together and get heard. However, there is a massive content gap. Hivisasa aims to provide a place for African audiences to create, discover and share content. The company is driven by a mission to elevate local and national debates by informing readers, providing a rewarding discussion platform, and decentralising the flow of information. Feel free to share widely!
