Journalism, Public Relations and Communications

Gathering, disseminating news from the county through the state run news agency. It is my job and i love it. About KNA Kenya News Agency is a state owned media established in early 1950s. However KNA has grown from a colonial government and post-independent one-party state mouthpiece to a professional body that distributes high quality news and features to media houses in Kenya. The kind of experience I have earned while working with KNA can allow me to work effectively at any of the big names. KNA offers the best foundation in journalism and public relations through provision of great working environment. I have been able to grow from a junior intern journalist to a very respected news and features reporter. KNA has given that space to grow and create my name and I know the sky is not the limit, it is a transition to the next level.

Working as a district head at a tender age gave me the opportunity to understand how to manage my self, my office and other staff. It gave me the opportunity to be my own supervisor and work on own. I got a lot of experience while working in the remote district with people of a different culture. I created rapport with the community and was able to draw much admiration from the sources I created. Bomet defined me as a feature's writer and gave me a milestone in the department of information. it is while here that I learned to blend well with the environment and make friends with all people.

A journalist like no other
