  • The Politics of Impunity and the Shifting Media Landscape in Kenya
    Athens Journal of Mass Media and Communications- Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2021 – Pages 61-78 The Politics of Impunity and the Shifting Media Landscape in Kenya By Philip Onguny This article focuses on state-media relations and the shifts in the overall media landscape in Kenya. Drawing on a political economy approach to media operations in Kenya, it argues that while there are competing meanings over what constitutes "news values", "editorial independence", and "critical media", changes in political regimes and unclear media regulations contribute to political and/or corporate interference on media coverage of corruption and political impunity. This renders media operations problematic at the normative and operational levels. The discussion situates these arguments within the contexts of "policy laundering" and "critical junctures", seeking to establish whether the shifting media landscape is a function of increased information and communication affordability or, instead, an indication that critical media are on the decline. Overall, the article provides an assessment of key temporal periods that have shaped media regulatory frameworks to show how political and/or corporate interests have influenced journalistic practices and editorial independence over time and space. Keywords: Kenyan media, media regulations, editorial independence, political impunity, policy laundering, safety of journalists, critical junctures Introduction Kenya has been perceived as one of the few African countries with a "pluralist" media, somewhat related to conditions under which media outlets operate. For instance, a recent report by Reporters Without Borders (2018) ranks Kenya 96th (out of 180 countries) on World Press Freedom Index, a 4-point improvement from 20151. However, according to the 2019 Corruption Perception Index by Transparency International, Kenya scores 28 out of 100 which highlights the slow progress in fighting corruption2.

    Mission Possible Report and recommendations June 2008 Benjamin Chesterton copyright Chiba “The night the violence started some of the listeners were calling in saying ‘We are being burnt inside our house, please help us.’ You don’t know who it is, you don’t know where they are, you are in the station. All you can hear is screams and see fire. You can’t do anything. In the morning I could see women running with children, there was smoke everywhere. We lost many of our listeners. We get less people phoning in and less text messages. Now people just come to our office with death announcements for us to air.” Sayare FM (Eldoret) overnight announcer, April 2008 1 Contents Part one – The Roundtables 1. Introduction 2.

    March 27, 2018 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ================ Nation Media Group’s statement on withdrawal by columnists Nation Media Group notes with regret the position taken by columnists who have been writing for NMG platforms and have decided to stop writing for our publications. We respect their right to take a collective decision, although each of them had an individual contract that we have diligently honoured over the years we have worked with them. We wish to reiterate that overall we have honoured our obligation to respect their views and did not tamper with their positions except to correct basic errors. NMG was founded more than half a century ago on the bedrock of independent voices, diversity and freedom of expression. It is in this regard that we developed, through a process of public participation and published our editorial policy to guide our conduct and journalism. We believe that the principles of independence, fairness and balance, as espoused in our editorial policy, are key to promoting the democratic space whilst being mindful of the impact that information in the public space plays in shaping opinions. We wish to reassure our readers and stakeholders that we continue to be committed to media freedom whilst delivering value in line with their expectations. - Ends - For further details contact: Clifford Machoka Head of Corporate & Regulatory Affairs Email: [email protected] About Nation Media Group Nation Media Group (NMG) was founded by His Highness the Aga Khan in 1959.

  • Youth, Peace and Security in Kenya by Olawale Ismail
    Youth, peace and Security in Kenya by Olawale Ismail Youth, Peace and Security in Kenya Revised Draft 12/12/2017 1 Youth, peace and Security in Kenya by Olawale Ismail 1. Introduction Kenya underscores the spirit and letter of UNSC Resolution 2250 in many ways. Over the last decade, Kenya’s political-security volatility has been well documented by extant research and media reports. Incidence of political and election-related violence, radicalization and violent extremism, inter-ethnic and inter-communal clashes, pastoralist violence, and state-led violence dot Kenya’s peace and security landscape in the last 10 years. While most of these peace and security issues predate the last decade, their scale, spread, intensity and impacts are unprecedented. As in similar contexts, much of research and policy attention have focused mostly on the role of young women and men largely as victims and perpetrators of violence, respectively. However, emerging pointers, as encapsulated in UNSCR 2250, signpost the crucial role and contribution of young people to preventing violence, responding to violence and rebuilding peace, and informed contributions to the security and stability of communities, countries and world at large. Kenya is no different; female and male youth on their own and/or in collaboration with other stakeholders, actively contributes to conflict prevention, reconciliation and peacebuilding in Kenya. Accordingly, this report presents an overview of the contemporary peace and security challenges in Kenya, and the responses of young people in the form of their roles and contributions to peacebuilding efforts. This case-study was commissioned by UNFPA and PBSO for the Progress Study on YPS requested by SCR 2250, with funding support from SIDA.

J Armed cadets motion passengers from the plane to a beige-green bus marked National Youth Service. We sit cramped together, luggage on laps. To our right, a steel wall barricades the main airport building gutted by fire. Our driver, in a beret and green army fatigues, weaves through the pitch black before pulling up at a multi-story car park that’s serving as the makeshift arrivals hall. Soldiers usher us to immigration gates where ticket machines stood a few months ago. I head to “Foreign Visitors” until I feel a tug at my arm. “This officer is a friend of mine.” My impromptu guide jumps me through the “Kenyan Citizens” line and fires a meaningful nod at the olive-uniformed guard. He asks me the purpose of my visit but before I can say “business” my passport is stamped and I’m through. My new-found friend sat next to me on the plane. He was a candidate in the 2013 election for a ward in Nakuru, Kenya’s third largest city after Nairobi and Mombasa. He lost the election but became the assistant to the winning MP, a mate of his. As we wait half an hour in the four parking rows that make up baggage reclaim, he shows me one of his three mobile phones.

J. Media Commun. Stud., Double –Blind Peer Reviewed Journal Problematising News Media Ownership Patterns in Kenya: Who Controls Media Industry in the Global South? Michael Otieno Otieno1; Michael M. Ndonye2 1Media Scholar, Egerton University, Kenya 2Lecturer, Kabarak University, Kenya Corresponding author email [email protected] Abstract The main aim of this paper is to investigate media ownership patterns and analyse the implications of such patterns in Kenya—while thinking globally. Notably, media industry has attracted politicians and business tycoons around the world. It is one of the most lucrative industries that come with a lot of power and influence. From the literature reviewed in this analysis, it is evident that very few studies have been done to critically look at the media ownership patterns in Kenya and the implications such ownership have in the media market place. The paper is aimed at answering three questions. 1) What has been the media ownership pattern in Kenya since independence? 2) What does media ownership patterns mean to the Kenyan Media industry? 3) How does this pattern in Kenya compare to the rest of the world? Analysis from this research seems to demonstrate that most media outlets in Kenya are either politically owned or have some political agenda attached to them. As a result of such pattern, the Kenyan media experience narrow content and lack of alternative viewpoint of news and information disseminated to the public.
