    • Media Talk: Press standards, self-regulation and...

      According to a report published by the Media Standards Trust, the current system of press self-regulation is not successfully protecting either the press or the public.

    • Kenya: one year on - have the wounds healed?

      Kenya's abrupt descent into mayhem after President Mwai Kibaki's disputed re-election tarnished one of Africa's most promising economies and badly damaged its tourism industry. And a year on since the UN brokered peace agreements were signed it seems apparent to all that Kenya's underlying issues are still unresolved. There is continuing ethnic unrest and tens of thousands of displaced persons still living in camps. So have the peace agreements achieved anything or have the country's wounds si...
