The digital revolution has radically transformed how news and information are produced, shared, and interpreted. Truth now has to compete with distortion at an unprecedented speed. Trust — once journalism’s strongest currency — has also come under immense pressure from a multiplicity of sources. And technology, while empowering, has also enabled misinformation, weakened traditional gatekeeping, and reshaped how audiences engage with news.
As editors from legacy media platforms meet for this year’s Annual Editors Convention under the theme 'Truth, Trust and Technology: The Place of Journalism in the Digital Era,' they do so at a moment that demands clarity, uncommon courage, and renewed responsibility. The media stands at an inflection point, and the decisions editors make today will define the future of journalism in Kenya.
