Annotated Bibliography

The Constitution of Kenya. Amend. 33, Sec 2.

This source enumerates the exact press rights that individuals in Kenya are entitled to. It also represents how far the individual press rights have grown, as this is a far more recently amended constitution.

“The Kenya Information and Communications (Amendment) Bill, 2013.” National Assembly Bills, 2013. (Web) 27 Oct. 2016. <http://www.researchictafrica.net/countries/kenya/The_Kenya_Information_and_Communications_(Amendment)_Bill_2013.pdf>

This law puts forth the ever-growing press rights of individuals in Kenya. As this law was an amendment to a 1998 law, it shows how the press freedoms are evolving.

"Code of Conduct for the Practice of Journalism in Kenya." Code of Conduct for the Practice of Journalism in Kenya. Media Council of Kenya, n.d. Web. 27 Oct. 2016.

This source provides a more nuanced take on the implantation of the press freedoms enumerated in the 2010 constitution. It explains how journalists are supposed to act within the individual press freedoms.

"Kenya." Freedom of the Press. Ed. Freedom House DC. Freedom House, 2016. Web. 27 Oct. 2016.

This source shows Kenya’s relative press freedoms to the rest of the world. It is especially useful because it keeps a database of Kenya’s relative press freedoms each year.

Mungeam, G. H. British Rule in Kenya, 1895-1912: The Establishment of Administration in the East Africa Protectorate. Oxford: Clarendon P., 1966. Print.

This book is a good source for explaining what rights, if any, Kenyans had during British rule. It serves as a point of reference for how improved the press freedoms are in Kenya today.

Murunga, Godwin R., Duncan Okello, and Anders Sjögren. Kenya: The Struggle for a New Constitutional Order. London: Zed, 2014. Print.

This book offers an insight into how individuals in Kenya are fighting for more press freedoms. It shows how the people of Kenya desire to have the same rights as any other constitutional nation.

Namwaya, Otsieno. "Dispatches - Media Freedom Under Threat in Kenya." Human Rights Watch. N.p., 23 Mar. 2016. Web. 27 Oct. 2016.

This source offers an insight into a counter position, one that makes the claim that press freedoms are not growing for individuals. It offers a compelling counter-position that puts Kenya’s progress into a broader perspective.

Omolo Ochilo, Polycarp J. "Press Freedom and the Role of Media in Kenya." Africa Media Review 7.3 (1993): n. pag. Web. 27 Oct. 2016. <http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/africanjournals>.

This source is effective in offering a perspective of how press freedoms for individuals were more limited before the new constitution in 2010. It represents a point from which to examine how press freedoms have improved.

Oraire, Peter, and Rosemary Okello-Orlale. The Media We Want: The Kenya Media Vulnerabilities Study. Rep. Nairobi: Friederich Ebert Stiftung, 2010. Print.

The source lists exactly what the citizens of Kenya desire from individual press freedoms. Moreover, it explains how these individuals aim to achieve their goals about expanding press freedoms.

Watson, Mary Ann. Modern Kenya: Social Issues and Perspectives. Lanham, MD: U of America, 2000. Print.

This book shows individual perspectives on how social issues affect the way in which press freedoms are expanded or contracted. Additionally, it offers further insight in to how Kenyans would like to see individual freedoms in the future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crose626 (talkcontribs) 20:28, 27 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
