Nice, But the media is far from self regulation. Or at least, we have not seen enough of that. The govt definitely has a role.
Mis-information is really a great role the media is recently playing.
The public has to be guarded against irresponsible journalism and govt
is definitely one of those key stakeholders in ensuring this. A
supplier/s cannot be solely trusted on this.

Alice,
In brief, the Bill seeks to establish
a Media Council of Kenya and a Media Advisory Board to
regulate journalist, enforce a code of conduct and
manage a complaints committee.
The Media Owners Association has been campaigning
against establishment of statutory media regulation to
replace the existing self-regulation mechanism.
On Thursday 17th May the MOA issued a press statement
to make their two points clear to the govt..
1, MOA rejects the Media Bill 2007.
2, We have our own Bill which we would be happy to
replace with the govt Bill.
Will keep you posted on that.
Kanja
