If you’re a member of the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists, your exercise in agricultural citizen journalism can now be listed under the new “blogs” section of the IFAJ website. Just send your blog name, address and your photo to executive secretary Connie Siemes at ifaj@planet.nl. Priority will be given to blogs from IFAJ members that are solely concerned with agricultural news and issues, and those that are updated regularly.
