At 50, NMG affirms media freedom goal | Daily Monitor

His Highness the Aga Khan confers with Nobel Peace laureate Wangari Maathai as Kenyan PM Raila Odinga looks on in Nairobi.

The Nation Media Group (NMG) began celebrations to mark 50 years with a firm commitment to remain focused on independent news coverage.

The group’s founder, His Highness the Aga Khan, told the Pan African Media Conference in Nairobi on Thursday that he started off in 1960 with the belief that newly-independent African nations would thrive well where there was an independent media. He holds the same belief for the future.

“News media that sought independence, generally speaking, had a difficult life,” said the Aga Khan.
