CAPPING OF SOME DUMP SITES TO ENSURE SANITATION

The Accra metropolitan Assembly and zoom-lion Ghana limited has come together to fight the hill of rubbish at “Mallam” which has been the dumping site for the people. This dump site has called to the notice of many optimistic citizens as well as concerned people in the country. This is as a result of the breeding of insects and other bacterial diseases which makes the area prone to diseases like malaria and typhoid fever.  Among the other threatening activities that were going on were the children who turned the place into a play ground.

The project which is to end by the middle of the year is to fence and cover the whole place with stone and sand so as to remove all forms of rubbish from the community. This project will eradicate all forms of diseases that emanate from the dumping of refuse in the area.

 it has nice its nice terraces that borders the sea and other ridges that have been created along the neighbouring communities provide a good spectacle for tourists.
the production of salt till date has still not been known by many people, this is as a result of misinformation on how salt is made.most people have never witnessed the production of salt and how the processes leads to the refined salt. a careful view from the hills of mccarthy will give a beautiful and splendid siht of the panbros salt and how the place has been divided into terraces.
the making of salt goes through a series of activities before the desired salt is got. depending on the type of salt needed, the usual salt needed or commonly used is the sea salt. it goes through the processes of collection, filteration, boiling,  second filtering, baking and last but not the least scrapping for test and refining into a desired type.

IS CITZEN JOURNALISM A THREAT OR A CHALLENGE TO THE PUBLIC?

Citizen journalism can also be known as be known or called as participatory, democratic or public journalism. It has been the order of the day and is causing a threat or challenge to professional journalists.
Citizen journalism can therefore be defined as the participation of the audience in the dissemination of news about events and occurrences with the means of the latest communication technologies.
This has become a threat and a challenge to professional journalism because of the introduction and increase in technological advances in digital cameras, smart phones, laptops, android phones and the increase in social networks has made it very simple and easy for all people who might not be professionals to convey messages out limiting the work of professional journalist. Another threat could also be the credibility of their news that they convey and more importantly, the creativity of their stories might not be professional though they may have facts.
