Screws are being tightened on Kenya's media, but many outlets also have credibility issues. Plus, Macron and the media.
Kenyan media: Under pressure and in crisis
Kenya is in the midst of a political power struggle and the country's media outlets are at the heart of the story. Opposition leader Raila Odinga, out to challenge the legitimacy of President Uhuru Kenyatta, held a mock inauguration last week.
The Kenyatta government, eager to put the election story behind it, ordered the Kenyan media to ignore the alternative inauguration.
So when three privately-owned TV channels then tried to broadcast the event, the authorities pulled the plug on them.
