A quick glance at the homepage shows that these are the most popular news: Son catches mother in the act Village chief dies after month long erection Forty? Kiss intimacy bye Teacher jailed for taking teen out for lunch Lovebirds nabbed during a steamy romp in company car What is happening? And why are some of the 'news' appearing in the gutter Kenyan-post? Who is copying from who?

They have a strategy advisor? maybe they are reaching out to a defined 'niche' market.

Anyway I stopped stressing myself reading that gutter. By the way the paper is called Substandard newspaper and not Standard newspaper.

Their forte is sensational stories so I think they are well within the line. BBI will solve it :)

Rank: Elder Joined: 10/13/2009 Posts: 1,950 Location: in kenya		I think the group strategy changed once baul melly became the MD...he has really messed up the company...from KTN to the paper....They even have a press freedom corner at their HQ...with a garden and all...They even had a campaign to turn the day they were attacked a free press day...Ambitions I tell you. I remember when karoney was incharge of KTN news she wuld personally respond to any query or suggestion by the viewers...Thats how Jicho pevu was born. Now I dont know who is in charge in that messed up place. '......to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.' Colossians 2:2-3

All papers, Including Nation do it too, but they have some sense of balance - Standard it too open and plain. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God..

Reading 'the standard' is like reading those funny 2 page papers handed out in buses, heading to bungoma "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.
