Having experienced South Africa’s transformation first hand, and having loads of Zimbabwean friends it is heart warming to read articles like this, as there is just so much that still needs to change on this wild continent. Kudos to the Yahoo International Journalism Fellowship at Stanford for equipping the loudest voices with more skills to spread their message.

Well Yahoo you certainly impressed me with this story.

I was surprised and am thrilled to see the human face of the company and it’s poignant stand for its values and ethics.

Go Violet go! You have many supporters, you know what you are talking about and are passionate about your cause. You are the right person in the right time and the right place to be pushing for the rights for yourself and your fellow homeland peoples.

Remember when times are tough that you are inspiring to others in similar situations. Your presence is like the ripples in water.

Violet is an honor to her profession and to the human race. Well said Jim. Congratulations to the Knight Fellowships and to Yahoo for your generous support for Violet and journalists like her. It makes every bit of difference that the world hears voices like Violet’s. Can’t keep her quiet and can’t keep them quiet.

Yahoo! should have accepted Microsoft’s $33 per share offer. The Yahoo! board is going to get sued becauase they blew it.

Free speech is only on paper in most countries and its appreciable for yahoo to take this initiative to protect the right.

I am truly impressed with Yahoo’s support for the endangered free journalist. I, too, work at a newspaper, although it’s not that glamorous or exotic.

I must contrast the great Yahoo journalism support with the news I have heard about corporate Yahoo recently and it concerns me how free the company can remain when I hear M-sof is hovering in for a sale. My h- mail became cold mail after it became an “msAcquisition.” Please, don’t make me have to choose gmail. I am not thrilled with their politics.

Keep on Y-A-H-O-O ing for those who see
journalism diversity and commerce freedom slipping away!!!!!!
Choose to B-msFREE.

Thank you for a great company.
