The Standard e-Paper
Stay Informed, Even Offline
The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
Last year, a television journalist covering protests in Nairobi was shot with a rubber bullet at close range, even though he was clearly identified as a member of the press. In the same period, some reporters had their personal information, home addresses, phone numbers, and family photos shared online in what appeared to be coordinated efforts to scare them.
These incidents remind us why this year’s World Press Freedom Day theme, “Shaping a Future at Peace,” is so important. It invites us to reflect on the close connection between peace and a free press. For Kenya, it offers an opportunity to look at where we stand.
