Leadership influences content, and content shapes public discourse.
In response to editorial updates at @NationMediaGrp, @AMWIK notes that those changes reflect a persistent gap that women occupy under 4% of Managing Editor roles despite contributing 40% of Kenyaโs media workforce.

We were part of the Freedom Cafรฉ conversation hosted by @FNF_Kenya on defending information integrity in a #DigitalDemocracy.
Fact-checkers, policymakers, technologists & content creators agreed that information integrity is a shared responsibility.
One sharp point, clickbait & algorithm pressure keep incentivising misleading content for likes and views.
Our input as CIPESA is that internet shutdowns isn't just an access issue, it is an information integrity crisis & also violation of digital rights.
Cutting access breeds speculation, unchecked narratives & real economic/political harm.
With Kenya's next election ahead, cross-sector work to keep digital spaces open & credible matters more than ever.

#Uganda had a few hours of full access to the internet. However, access to #socialmedia and messaging platforms has since been blocked since mid-morning (Jan 18). The communications regulator has warned users against bypassing the block by using #VirtualPrivateNetwork (VPN) tools.
