Journalists trained on elections coverage, urged to be impartial


The Kenya Editors Guild has challenged journalists to avoid partial reporting as the country enters into the electioneering period. KEG board members have said journalists have a major role in ensuring they pass the right information to the public. Sammy Muraya, KEG board member said the association is training journalists on elections and the things they should do before and after elections. Muraya who spoke during a journalists training forum in Murang’a Friday said they have a huge responsibility to educate Kenyans on elections and ensure the reports they publish are both fair and factual. The association, Muraya said, has noted that politicians go out of their way to misinform journalists and make statements that they cannot justify.
