Reporting Kenya website launched

The online platform is part of a two-year media development project supported by several international donors, including the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office as well as the German Federal Foreign Office.

ReportingKenya.net will carry reports on local and international justice issues, and will provide in-depth coverage of the 4 March 2013 general elections.

As a publishing hub for reporters and editors from a range of media houses in Kenya, ReportingKenya.net will provide local audiences with credible, impartial information on emerging developments concerning domestic justice mechanisms, as well as on the trial of four Kenyans due to start in April at the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

The contributing journalists and editors work for the Nation Media Group, The Standard, The Star and The People; and broadcasters including Capital FM, the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation, Kass FM, Royal Media Services, Pamoja FM, Koch FM, Radio Amani, Radio Nam Lolwe, Baraka FM, and Radio Africa.

All reports generated for ReportingKenya.net will be published or broadcast in Kenya by these partner organisations, contributing to a healthy public debate on local and international developments. IWPR has been working with journalists and media houses in Kenya since 2011 to provide independent reporting on local and international justice issues.
