A Consumate Journalist

I was reading about Wangethi Mwangi recently and was very impressed to learn of his long career in journalism as well as his accomplishments.

Currently, he is Editorial Director for the largest media company in Kenya, Africa, Nation Media Group. The refreshing thing about this journalist is that he didn't simply walk into this huge corporation and start at the top. He worked in a variety of positions and stair stepped his way to the impressive position he currently holds.

Not only is Wangethi Mwangi a successful journalist and Editorial Director, he also has a passion for food! His culinary interests lies in bringing Kenyan recipes and dishes to the forefront. He even has a blog that details various recipes!

Wangethi Mwangi also has seen the Nation Media Group grow from being staffed with mostly ex-patriots to now being almost 100% African run. A great achievement for him and his country.

THE NEWSPAPER BUSINESS AND JOSEPH ODINDO

They say that the apple doesn’t fall very far from the tree when speaking about a parent and child. It seems that this is the case with Joseph Odindo and his father. Not only is Joseph Odindo a music enthusiast that has led to a ground breaking album with Paul Simon’s “Graceland”, he is also a very respected and well-known journalist for a company called Nation Media Group.

This company is the owner of various newspapers in the African region. And, Joseph Odindo is the group managing editor for Nation Media Group. Some may think that due to his father’s influence, that he stepped into the top position of the company from day one. That simply isn’t the case.

Joseph Odindo stair stepped his way up from reporter to various other positions until he became Nation Media Group. He has had a very impressive career both as a musician and a journalist.
