Kenya media officials created new rules to keep children safe from harmful news content. The Media Council of Kenya wrote the code after a court said the old rules failed to protect young people. The fresh guidelines respond to a rise in fake videos, inappropriate content, and social media problems. These rules aim to control how news groups show stories about kids, crime victims, and people who need extra protection.
Information Secretary William Kabogo asked reporters to remain truthful during breaking news and urged media workers to check facts before sharing stories. The new code targets both TV reporters and online content makers. The rules cover how to handle computer-created images and stories about gambling. Media Council leader David Omwoyo said these changes help news stay honest despite fast changes in technology.
