Discussion: Media and Diverse Politics in Kenya, Apr. 13 2011 @ Goethe

Date: April 13, 2011
Venue: Goethe-Institut Auditorium
Time: 6-9pm
Entry: Free

Without doubt, political temperatures are rising as the elite jostle for power, and political heat is likely to rise all the way to the 2012 elections. Oblivious of what the electorate really want, our politicians have started beating the drums, and the stage is being set in earnest for a drama that will keep us in sweat and tears. Citizens look up to the media for unbiased information and interpretation of the political events in the country.

Are citizens’ expectations of the media unrealistic and misguided? How should the media manage the process of reporting political wrangles without driving the country into an early election mood; without sidelining other important stories in the country? This open discussion forum will bring together media scholars, journalists and political scientists to explore the role in media.

This discourse is organized by Twaweza Communications in collaboration with Ford Foundation.
