The Annual Editors’ Convention is the premier editors’ meeting in Kenya. The convention offers both a platform and opportunity for the media, editors, journalists, government officials and other stakeholders to meet to discuss various issues affecting journalism in Kenya among them professionalism, disinformation, ethics, training, and the place of legacy media in the face of intense competition from new media platforms that are seen not only as transformative but disruptive of journalistic practices. This year’s theme is: ‘Media in Contested Spaces: Elections, Sustainability and Public Trust’ and will take place on 2-4 December 2021 in Naivasha, Kenya.

The Convention is an initiative of the Kenya Editors’ Guild, a not-for-profit professional organisation that brings together senior print, magazine, broadcast and other electronic media editors. The Guild seeks to: defend and promote media freedom and independence in Kenya; promote quality and ethical journalism; provide a forum for the discussion of the challenges facing the media and editors; and to network with other professional organisation, among others.
