  • Influence of Media Training on the Competence of Journalists in Kenya
    Influence of Media Training on the Competence of Journalists in Kenya: Perceptions of Standard Group Limited Managers and Senior Journalists Amukuzi, Marion1, Kuria, Githinji Martin2 Riara University, Kenya1, Karatina University, Kenya2 Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract A number of researches have indicated that training institutions have failed to impart skills and knowledge to students that would be transferred to the industry upon graduation and employment, hence the quality of journalists graduating is wanting. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of media training on the competency of journalists in Kenya. Curricula were sampled from selected Kenyan universities and adequacy of training material investigated. Non-probability sampling procedure involving purposive and snow-ball sampling methods were used to identify the 9 participants comprising media managers and senior journalists in one media organization. Data was analysed thematically and presented in a narrative form in accordance with the themes. According to the SG media managers and senior journalists, journalists trained in Kenya lack practical skills required in the job market. Consequently, media houses are recruiting graduates in other disciplines such as English, Medicine, and Law while others have resorted to re-training the new recruits. It is recommended that media training institutions, regulators and other stakeholders should revamp existing curricula with the view to making them competency based. Keyword: Influence of Media, Journalists, Perceptions Standard Group Limited, Managers and Senior Journalists. Introduction and Background of the Study The performance of media in Kenya is closely related to the level of journalism training where appropriate training provides students with knowledge and skills to write accurate, fair, balanced and impartial stories (Mbeke, 2010).

Also Inside: Main Party behind Wanguru Sacking Agenda Raila’s Return and what it means to the Ruling Join the conversation facebook.com/kenyanlegal;Coalition twitter.com/The_Kenyan_Legal Tribalism a Cake Baked By the Government The main gender identities in a family/society setting need not necessarily be positively Page | 2hostile towards each other as none of them can subsist alone but the current sound of FIDA’s silence is rather surprising because gender-based violence against women is so clearly an increasing problem in the country Kenya now taking the form of normalcy-as being part of a Kenyan woman’s life, but, the farther we penetrate into the primitive history of thought, the farther we find ourselves from a conception of progress and development which all along it resembles. To ask for action from the government is rather rhetoric but from FIDA-Kenya, I cannot help asking for something more, for some central notion which shall account not only for the elimination of gender based violence but also for its permanence. It may be doubted whether this quest can be successful. As time progresses, so do we; or rather we strive to. I therefore welcome you to the Ninth issue of Kenyan Legal magazine; this is it-It’s Real Kenya, Real Issues. Be my guest.
