Mission Statement

Sinikiwe Mqadi

My love and passion for the journalism are the main reasons why I decided to start this blog, I spend a lot of time involved with journalism work, and that is the only thing that interests me most at the moment and the way it’s , its look like it will interest me for the rest of my life. The Yellow Brick Rhode blog is the way of bringing together all the fans and students of journalism to share their views, thoughts, insights and everything related to journalism. The Yellow Brick Rhode is standing up for journalism students and fans, for all the great things that journalists do and for all the people who love journalism. A community will develop on The Yellow Brick Rhode of all journalism students and everyday someone new will join us on The Yellow Brick Rhode to read what we are saying or to offer their own opinion.

I understand that every career has flaws and I do not deny those flaws of journalism and not everyone enjoys or likes journalism and I kindly accept that, and their criticism for journalism is warm welcomed and hopefully criticism will help better and improve the standard of journalism all over the world. The critics may also be very useful since journalists are the watchdogs of what is happening for people to know, so people are what we are working for as journalists. We believe that there are enough journalists who are diligent for their work and it’s about time for people to start recognising that and take the step forward to improve it.

The Yellow Brick Rhode will provide useful and up-to-date information to keep journalism issues on top of what is happening locally and abroad, to make it more competitive and to encourage a quality education towards journalism. The Yellow Brick Rhode will provide with the platform information within journalism, from the students who want to share their talents by increasing local and international issues and hope to inspire good journalists in South Africa and in the world abroad. But not only academic or serious issues will be discussed even entertaining staff will be there since journalists are very busy bees and they usually having stress due to the work overload and willing to get the best for the public.

The Yellow Brick Rhode will take all reasonable steps to protect the personal information of users. It will be up to the users whether they want to display their real names in their blog posts and comments or not. The blog users will also make sure that all the posts are relevant or have effects to journalism. The Yellow Brick Rhode will use profession in every circumstance including writing posts, comments, ideas, etc.
