dc.description.abstractThe lack of free and independent journalism in Kenya has led to adverse effects on democracy and governance in Kenya in ways that professional journalists' need to manage. According to J.Vivian (The Media of Mass Communication) (1997:55), an assumption in authoritarian systems is that the government is infallible, which means its policies are beyond question. The role of the media in the society is subservience to government. It should also inform, educate and entertain the society. Community media or radio has the sole purpose of empowerment of its audience.3 Community media are unlike any other genre of journalism affirming that, all have a voice and all the 'voiceless' need is a chance to be heard, watched and listened to.en_US
