Carlyta > could you please start a new discussion ? You are off topic. Thanks

I am talking about all types of media-print, broadcast, online

I am aware of the new media laws as well, was mostly wondering if anyone wanted to comment on this, and how media has changed since the Kenya Communications Amendment Act signed into law in 2009.  Thank you.

Hello,  I have witnessed a huge expansion in radio and TV since 2002, both in terms of choice, number of channels, quality of content and increase in 'home grown' programming, rather than the reliance on shows from the US, UK etc.

Locally produced shows seem to be more conservative than western productions in terms of language (swearing), depiction of violence and sex (not necesarily a bad thing).  TV shows are frequently given an age rating, which is useful.

As far as radio is concerned, shows seem to be following a western model and there have been complains about excessive references to sex during the day.  There seems to be a new station on air every two months and there is at least one station broadcasting in each of the 'major' languages (Kikuyu, Duluo etc).

Newspapers have not changed much over the last few years.

As far as the Communications Amendment Act is concerned (wasn't that enacted this year?), I can't say that I have noticed much difference at all - there appears to be a little more censorship of language and sex on shows from overseas - thats about all.

Hope this helps.
