Is it me or is this paper becoming harder to ignore? Today was especially hard considering the Raila Plot and the Esther Arunga story.

I remember the biggest challenge they'd complained of was people 'LIKE ME' just glossing over at the newsstand then buying a Nation.

Yielded today and noticed their unrestrained air on stories - not too many adverts though. Has it grown on you yet?

Tabloid newspaper with nothing to offer Kenyans but sensational and scandalous material...

The reason I cant stand Caroline Mutoko. I find her deceptive..shedding tears for the country then doing evrything she can to divide the extremely fragile fabric holding Kenyans together. The media is on the verge of letting us down again in 2012.

I usually glance at the headlines.... and when someone else buys it, I read it. Admittedly, I also have not bought a regular newspaper for a while..

Forgive my ignorance if you may, but is the paper in question written by Ms. Caroline Mutoko?

Ok the Star as it's called nowadays does have some great exclusives and juicy scandals like today's copy on how Esther Arunga has joined some cult. But they should not try to compete with Nation or Standard on politics or political coverage. These 2 papers are giants when it comes to siasa and have done it with relish and zeal for the last 7 to ten decades. The Star cannot dislodge them when it comes to political reporting unless it's a major exclusive. I suggest they stick to real life issues, scandals and some gossip. They must cultivate their own niche and recruit own customers. Trying to invade the turf of the giant Nation will not work!

My interest is piqued. I cannot trace it in our Kerugoya newstands. Is the paper distributed country wide or is it part of those peculiars of Nailovi?
