Standard Media Group

Media houses in Kenya have been sailing in troubled waters due to reduced advertising, delayed payments by the government’s advertising agency, and the advent of digital news coverage and citizen journalism via social media.

In December last year, the Standard Media Group issued a profit warning saying that profits would dip by at least 25 per cent for the year ended 31 December 2019. This dip in profit was attributed to increased newsprint costs and decreased spending power among key existing clients. The media industry, though, is one among multiple industries across Kenya’s economy that are on the verge of collapse due to a badly injured economy.
