The Media Council of Kenya (MCK) has flagged as fake a notice to media houses warning them against sensational and inflammatory reporting. "Please be aware that the claim circulating about the Media Council of Kenya (MCK) cautioning media houses against inflammatory reporting is fake.
Always verify information from official MCK sources," the statement read.
In the fake notice purportedly signed by the MCK Registrar of Complaints Commission, Eric Ngaria, a warning was specifically sent to the Standard Group for sensational headlines threatening censure. "MCK reminds all media practitioners that press freedom comes with a duty to report accurately, fairly, and responsibly," the fake notice read.
