Renowned Kenyan journalist John-Allan Namu has been selected in the most recent cohort of the prestigious John S.
Knight Journalism Fellowship at Stanford University in the United States.
Namu will be part of 16 journalists drawn from all over the world.
The fellowship is set to start in September through to May 2026. At Stanford, the award-winning Namu and the other journalists are expected to pursue individual projects as well as explore opportunities for collective action that respond to accelerating threats to freedom of news and information. The prestigious fellowship will see Namu have access to several benefits, key among them a $130,000 (Ksh16.8 million) stipend for the nine-month fellowship period.
