In an effort to understand the role of the Media Council of Kenya in the reporting industry, my mind stretched to the announcement by the body that it will soon create media hubs and open media houses across the country.
While addressing a team of journalists at the Ndagani outskirts of Chuka town in the last week of January this year, MCK CEO David Omwoyo disclosed that the regulatory body would soon create media hubs with collaborative media spaces to allow journalists from different media houses to work together.
The CEO further revealed that the body is to open media houses across the country in order to create employment opportunities.
Omwoyo decried the sorry state of the media fraternity and called for improvement in the working conditions for journalists in order to enhance their professionalism in coverage of events.
