The Media Council of Kenya (MCK) has conducted training for journalists and public communications officers drawn from Kisii County, on how to access information and financial knowledge.
Speaking during the forum held at Kisii University, MCK's Director of Media Training and Development Victor Bwire highlighted key challenges facing journalists and media practitioners in their daily work.
Bwire cited challenges such as copyright infringement, content theft, defamation and misinformation as major obstacles in the profession.
He encouraged the journalists to learn more about the legal frameworks that protect them, adding that scribes can explore the legal channels to request for information in cases where such is denied. "When requesting for information, you have to be clear and elaborate on the specific information that you require from an authority," noted the Director.
