Ever since things started getting hectic in Kenya, I have been considering how the news might appear within that country. An obvious thing to do, but one that I had not really done until now was to look up a Kenyan newspaper online. In this case I found the East Africa Standard and the Daily Nation - both Kenya-based.

I figure that the value in looking at events through the local media is that you get a more nuanced perspective of the event as outside news sources tend to interpret(and perhaps not intentionally) information through an entirely different lens, not taking into account how locals might value very different aspects of a situation. Plus, the political cartoons can be quite telling.

Going beyond just Kenya for a moment, one can often find completely different views of media events by looking at the English translations of another nation’s news service. The best example of this I have found is the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting.

A good list of English language newspapers.

    […] As I mentioned the other day, it behooves us to look further than our local news for information on events like the ones unfolding in Kenya. Pursuant to that, I have found this analysis by John Barbieri which focuses on the myths surrounding the situation in Kenya: First, this is not ‘ethnic conflict.’ Similar to the way that most African conflicts get reported, there is the ubiquitous framing of the situation as conflict solely being driven by ethnicity. This is most profoundly seen in the statements of ‘tribal conflict’; it must be made clear that this is an extremely racist, antiquated and inaccurate depiction of the situation. Though there has been an ethnic factor to some of the conflict, this factor is largely overemphasized at expense of the more pervasive factor of the rich/poor and the gross inequities in resource distribution across and among ‘ethnic lines’ (that is as if such lines could be so clearly drawn). As many have more articulately said elsewhere the situation must be re-framed as a political conflict. […]
