Kenyan newspaper
previously called East African Standard
English-language daily newspaper published in Nairobi, Kenya. It was established in Mombasa in 1902 as a weekly, the African Standard, by A.M. Jeevanjee, an Indian merchant. Jeevanjee hired an English editor-reporter, W.H. Tiller, to oversee the newspaper’s operations. In 1910 the paper became a daily, changed its name to the East African Standard, and moved to Nairobi, which was then fast developing as a commercial centre. It had already come under British ownership. In its early years the paper defended the interests of Kenya’s white settlers, but by the 1970s it had developed a more balanced approach to news reporting and had built a reputation for fine writing and technical excellence. After independence the paper retained the freedom to publish but was not allowed to criticize the government’s single political party or its leaders
High praise for Dear Leader at one point in time can turn into criticism of the Dear Leader at a later point in time. Ask Leon Trotsky.
