Not a pretty picture these results:
(turnover | operating profit)
Daily Nation - down down
East African - down down
Business Daily - flat down
NTV - down down
Only thing up was Digital.
Dividend retained the same at 10/-

If you look at what's happening globally, print business is dead.Nation has quality management but that can't save you when you're in a dying industry. Same goes for standard group.

When i saw them open a new 'state of the art' printing press last week i was lost in their strategy. I think they are still stuck in the 90s!!! Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune - Jim Rohn.

Nation has so much potential, but they lack ideas and zeal. First, the chairman needs to retire. He is still stuck in the past and although he sees the world changing, he has refused to let go. Printing of newspapers will no longer be profitable. Who wants to read yesterdays news. If the GOK was not buying newspapers they would be in deep trouble. Nation online is always lagging behind in news too. Joe Muganda is the only CEO not on social MEDIA despite being in the media industry.....someone tell him this is 2016. Joe make the paper sexy, that is how to survive in 2016. Dont go gutter like Substandard but less news more advertising. Its more sexy to read news from Ipads and Tablets...we of the dotcom no longer use jikos so where do we take all that trash that is yesterdays paper?

Newspaper is slowly collapsing as the generations change. Currently the revenue per user from digital is so much lower than print due to lower smartphone penetration plus more competition. Even though the have the best news presentation online, i forsee constant decline in revenue unless online ad rates go up and get more viewers on tv.

1. Re-invent the company from a publishing house to a mass media and entertainment house.
2. Understand that the journalism industry in the industrial era was a distribution business but today's reality calls for a service which is able to manage the digital relationship with consumers.
3. Invest in technology.
4. Aim to capture younger audiences.
5. Create scale on the network. In today's BD online, they report on the Kenya Orchards saga then mention "Quote:What makes it even more difficult for ordinary investors to avoid the dangers of daily trading is the fact that it is difficult and expensive to get information on listed companies, forcing them to rely on market direction whose drivers they do not u
nderstand. Some of the listed companies do not have websites while their annual reports are shallowly distributed and contain scanty information. One wonders...why not take up the challenge? The print edition usually carries financial information of companies right?
6. Offer new products (Why dont we have a sports dominated channel? Who doesnt know Kenyans love sports?)"There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

NMG is helplessly waiting for extinction instead of learning from the likes of Reuters and Bloomberg. Reuters evolved from mail to telegraph, to news to financial data and are now in softwares and accounting Life is short. Live passionately.

Their quality of news is pathetic.If u watch the business news about kenya in bloomberg and the likes of Reuters you wonder what their researchers and reporters are doing. Their political leaning is also costing them Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation
Wealth=Income + Investments - Lifestyle

This narrative should have read " Which can be found on our websites and will be published on our newspaper tomorrow. When will they embrace the digital world? The thinking is that you will wait for tomorrow and get a hard copy which will earn them revenue on sale of prints. What they forget is that we already accessed the digital copy thus no need to wait for tomorrow. They also forget about advertising revenue that can be made by directing more traffic to their websites. Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.
