Jeff Koinange is amazing and is many light years ahead of any presenter in Kenya in any category. The main problem with the "New Kids on the block", they are thrust into the big screen with no one to mentor them, much less no one checks the journalism credentials. What wins nowadays is screen value and not critical, methodical thinking. I remember sometime ago when John Sibi Okumu reading news and this guy used to invest time and effort into the stories, thinking through what he wants to ask as the flow. He had an excellence and it was evident, but it's not that way anymore. Has anyone watched Simon Hobb (http://www.cnbc.com/id/15838752) do The Leaders on CNBC? Excellent quality material and though it's a one-on-one interview it's extremely engaging. We want quality, we know you can up your game, that's all we are asking for. You demand it from the governments and corporates why can't we demand it from you? On Fri, Jan 21, 2011 at 12:02 PM, martow <martow@gmail.com> wrote:
Jeff Koinange is the only guy who conducts balanced interviews giving balanced views,so if today he was interviewing those opposed to buildings demolitions on MSA road tommorrow (or before end of week)he will interview those for it. Am afraid not the same can be said of others, sorry Larry. I agree with David,i always watch money matters and couldn't help but think same thing yesterday evening as i watched it. TV is getting predictable...
@McD @Larry isn't it rather obvious that people would comment on what they have just been watching, otherwise they would be OT? I think what @Wash is asking is in which forum are viewers asked to suggest whom they would like to be interviewed or thetopics to be featured

@ Wash
Every programme on Tv or Radio..at the end they ask you if you have any views or comments or suggestions.
Then you can e-mail and they invite you to their face book pages.So it is inaccurate to say that media houses, dont give people a chance to make suggestions.
Thanks, McD, though I (nor anyone else) did not say " that media houses, dont give people a chance to make suggestions." My question was two-fold. Let me separate them:
1. In which forum does the media houses give the viewers the platform to do that? 2. I'd particularly love to see proof, and what is considered as "substantial demand".
