Pamella Sittoni has become the biggest casualty so far in the ongoing layoff at the Nation Media Group (NMG). Ms Sittoni, who was Group Managing Editor of the Nation Media Group, the highest position in the editorial pecking order, will be exiting by the end of June, after reaching a deal with the company to terminate her employment prematurely. Meanwhile, the exit of Pamella Sittoni is being closely watched as it has already touched off succession talk, with insiders trying to figure out who will take over from her from those who survive the cleanup. She stands out as a pioneer, being among the first lady to hold the position of Group Managing Editor at the Nation Media Group, and arguably in Kenyan media. Her ascent continued, catapulting her to the position of Managing Editor of The EastAfrican, Executive Editor and Managing Editor of Daily Nation, Executive Editor for Partnerships, and, evantually, Group Managing Editor.
