NATION MEDIA GROUP

Historical Perspective

Established in 1960 to champion the interests of the African population in Kenya, prior to their political independence from the British govenment, the group has grown to be the dominant media company in Kenya and the rest of East and Central Africa.

With its mission statement clearly spelled out at the onset as a newspaper of record, the newspaper group has continued to adhere to the fundamental principles of professional journalism; thus remaining non-partisan, independent, objective and truthful in its news reporting.

The Nation Group, headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya at its prestigious Nation Centre building, has bureau offices in all major cities and towns throughout East Africa.
