Greetings, friends:<\/p>\n

This week, the Kenya Editors\u2019 Guild held a \u201cconsultative meeting\u201d with the National Police Service, which, according to the NPS\u2019s tweet<\/a> that Wednesday morning, focused on the \u201cmodalities of enhancing police-media relations through collaboration, joint trainings and professional ethics\u201d – a jargony statement if there ever was one.<\/p>\n

But what was more striking to me were the photos<\/a> accompanying that tweet. There were senior editors striking big smiles alongside the same police o\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 cers that have been at the helm of many weeks of brutal targeting of citizens and protestors, and of journalists themselves. In the photo, they were smiling with their eyes<\/em>, like they were just about to cut a birthday cake!<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t believe my eyes when I saw Macharia Gaitho himself in one of those photos, striking a pose between two senior police bosses \u2013 just weeks after being followed, roughed up, stu ed into a car and abducted by cops, within the precincts of a police station. (He was then returned a few hours later and the police explanation was, \u201cSorry, we were looking for another Gaitho.\u201d But it is also perhaps of note that Macharia Gaitho wasn\u2019t smiling so much with his eyes in that photo from the consultative meeting – just his teeth were showing).<\/p>\n

Still, If you\u2019ve been in Kenya or following the news from the country in the past eight weeks of so, you\u2019ll understand why this consultative meeting, and the exuberant posts from top journalists associations summarising the consultations, is so jarring, and such an obvious own goal when it comes to eroding public trust. I say this as a working journalist myself, as a journalist who has worked with many of those who were at this meeting and many of whom I consider my friends and colleagues.<\/p>\n

I know the argument that\u2019s coming \u2013 that the media and police do collaborate, and need to foster good relations, even if it\u2019s just for the sake of the many stories that need to quote police as sources, and also so that the police can \u201callow\u201d the media to do their work. I\u2019m not even necessarily saying that police and media should not meet and talk (though personally, I wonder what there was to discuss). It\u2019s my astonishment at the lack of media-savvy and communications-common-sense that this meeting epitomises, for a media fraternity whose work is in the public interest.<\/p>\n

My incredulity goes even further back to a few weeks ago, when journalists conducted their own protest for media freedom, with the slogans \u201cshoot not the messenger\u201d (prompting the question: so, who should be shot?) and \u201cwe are not criminals\u201d (implying that others, non-journalists presumably, are criminals). Really, it\u2019s the tone-deafness and conservativeness of it all, with my senior colleagues defaulting to the same time-worn \u201cmulti-stakeholder dialogue consultations\u201d, and then tweeting enthusiastically like that phrase means something important happened. In all honesty, if that meeting had to happen, it should have been closed-door, no cameras, no photos, and certainly no social-media fanfare.<\/p>\n

As I reflect on this entire episode, I\u2019m left wondering: who is this charade really for? Certainly not for the public, who see through the performative nature of it all. At the end of the day, journalism’s credibility is built on the trust of the people, and that trust is hard-won and easily lost. When media representatives are seen cozying up to the same forces that have been seen to oppress, it sends a confusing and disheartening message. The optics of these “consultative meetings,” coupled with the cheery photo-ops, do little to instill confidence in an already skeptical audience. Instead, they exacerbate the perception that the media is out of touch with the real issues facing the people\u2014issues they should be bringing to light, not glossing over with smiles and handshakes.<\/p>\n

In the end, the strength of our profession lies not in how well we can get along with those in power, but in how courageously we can stand up to them when it matters most. That is the essence of journalism\u2014and it\u2019s worth remembering, even when the cameras are rolling.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, here\u2019s:<\/p>\n

What I\u2019m Reading<\/strong>: The incredibly insightful ethnographic book Migrants<\/a> and<\/a> Masculinity <\/a>in<\/a> High-Rise<\/a> Nairobi<\/a>, available on that link as a Creative Commons free pdf download. For a quick summary of the essence of the book on how young male migrants in urban Nairobi navigate the tension between expectations of success and repetitive failure, you can read this<\/a> essay<\/a> by the author Mario Schmidt.<\/p>\n

What I\u2019m Watching<\/strong>: $25,000<\/a> vs.<\/a> $25,000,000<\/a> Lifestyles,<\/a> Compared<\/a> by Johnny Harris. Filmmakers and animators, hit me up – we need to do the Kenyan version of this, especially in the light of the recent farcical cabinet \u201cvetting\u201d exercise. What I\u2019m Listening to<\/strong>: New episodes from Cautionary<\/a> Tales<\/a>, one of my all-time favourites. This season has one sweet episode titled \u201cThe Rise and Fall of a Megalomaniac\u201d. I won\u2019t spoil it for you.<\/p>\n

My best,<\/p>\n
