The latest arrival in the Nation Media Group stable, the Nairobi News, is here.
The
English language newspaper which hit the streets Wednesday will
exclusively focus on Nairobi County news and will be covering crime,
courts, business, personal health and fitness, entertainment and sports.
Speaking
during its launch in Nairobi on Monday evening, chief guest Nairobi
County Governor Evans Kidero called on the paper to champion the
interests of the five million Nairobi residents.
“The paper should give us an agenda that will be centred around the people,” Dr Kidero urged.
KEEP OFF POLITICS
Nation
Media Group Chief Executive Officer Linus Gitahi said the newspaper
would shy away from politics and relay news happening in the capital.
He
added that it would also help readers make informed choices “like which
plot to buy, cars on sale, restaurants to visit, job vacancies and
schools to take children to”.
Group Editorial Director
Joseph Odindo said: “It is an interesting and provocative paper that
will cover serious news without being boring. It is a paper you can
leave on the breakfast table and not worry that your children will be
horrified by its content.”
The paper will have a contact number to report incidents.
