He noted that he needed more information on social media,
which is increasingly becoming an important tool for evangelization work in
this IT era. He was glad with the assistance he had gotten from the new ICT office at
AMECEA. “Already we have twitter and Facebook accounts as well as a blog and a
website at the Tanzanian Secretariat but our goal is to make these platforms vibrant tools for promoting the
works of evangelization.”

Catholic Media houses in Tanzania to create a forum for empowerment, networking
