I ran a blog for like 4 years. The content was world class. I got international acclaim. I was embarrassed to see the competition I was categorized with for BAKE Awards. There is no blog content in Kenya. I left because the industry is a cartel. It selects not for audience building but knowing the PR firms. It’s stupid. In a place like the US, content creators focus on content and it is the advertisers who look for them. So industry selects for good content. That’s where you compete. Here the content creator looks for the advertiser. Lol. Industry selects for ability to network, which is funny because writing is an introverts hobby.
You can’t find 3 Kenyan blogs in any category that does good opinion/analysis. Not sports, tech, automobile, fashion, etc.
Sema url ya blog ama unyamaze.
Must have been media madness. Takataka
Stems down to the content consumer…since the majority of consumers are dimwits who only care about “where Ruto spoke today” and that random “Pastor caught with mpango” stories that is what your screens will be filled with.
No difference from the “nani amekula hii” or the "wangapi tumesalimiana apa " crap in this very village.
Uzuri you have the internet you get choice news from any corner of the world. I wonder how our parents survived this knowledge desert before internet altho l think the journalists in that era were just better professionals

In the US, 70% of the population is white and 1 in 2 of them have an IQ of 100 or more.
In Kenya, 99% of the population is black and only 1 in 6 of them have an IQ of 100 or more
IQ sounds abstract in theory but in practice it is like eyesight: the higher it is the more clearly, quickly and easily you can see.
You are attempting to debate the texture of clouds when many Kenyans can’t see the clouds at all

Pole OP, @girlciki93 and @Kodiaga I have may started another thread similar to this one. I didn’t want to undermine the present discussion. All the same, it seems we had the same Idea in mind. So here were my thoughts just to build up on the present discussion.
Surely I can’t be alone in feeling this but much of what Kenyans consider to be funny or entertaining is just cringe humor. And don’t get me started with some of the short “comedy skits” flooding social media where acting a fool is being equated to comedy.
Anyway, here is a list of epic cringe worthy TV and radio shows that are painful to watch or listen to. You are free to add your own shows.
[ol]Patanisho [/li][li]Churchill live [/li][li]Dr Kingori/ The Wicked Edition [/li][li]Goteana [/li][li]Maina Kageni and King’ang’i… etc. [/li][/ol]And please, don’t accuse me of hating on other people’s hustles.
My question is simple; why is cringe-inducing media so popular in Kenya?
You forgot the mother of all atrocities:-
Media industry yetu is a reflection of us. hapa naongea juu ya shop mentality ile design unaanza duka msee ana copy anafungua yake sio mbali-next to yako. Ukicheki media siku hizi ni the same, kila mtu siku hizi ameingia vlog trend - same topics and of late same guests ( utacheki guest alikua Jalas next day ako tuko next day ingine - no originality).

Away from the meme of Githeri Media, I think you will agree that Kenyan media sector despite being in a fairly free environment is thoroughly lacking.
Let’s start with Blogs and Other online content. You don’t find many Kenyan sites that are specialists in the topics they cover. They like to extend to other topics. to cover for lack of content. When I come to your site about business issues, don’t start writing stories about Edgar Obare. SMH. You will also find very few sites doing analysis or in depth opinion pieces. Ni list na articles to za ujinga. It’s a shame because when you run a blog you are competing in a global market. I have run one back in the day and it was world class for sure.
Our TV stations have no content. News bulletin is their biggest audience puller. The news anchors are socially perceived to be in the same class as Genge Tone musicians. It’s pathetic tbqh. The human interest stories that the the stations do are irrelevant and boring. The investigative stories they do have no impact and the high profile interviews they get access to are inconsequential. A guy interviewed Uhuru about debt and the President embarrassed him by revealing he hadn’t done research on Japan. Lol, how will you do an interview on public debt with the President and not know about Japan. SMH.
On radio. It became acceptable that kids doing journalism right now Will pave way to “comedians” Can you imagine? Ati jalang’o and mwalimu king’ang’i types get platforms with most audiences to make jokes on important social issues. Now they are ripping people off money at tuma ksh.100 ushinde millioni. Lol.
The Kenyan media industry is a sick joke.

Bro is this fact, can you site your source
The only thing lacking is true introspection. Kila mtu Kenya ni holier than thou until Monday Morning uskie msee akipayuka…“Maina, nie reke gwere!” then the whole matatu is secretly glued to the lewd convo.
