Kenyans have given Daily Nation managing editor Mutuma Mathiu a bag-full of story ideas after he made a request on Facebook.
Mr Mathiu had said: “I need good story ideas. Can you help me out? Inbox me tips, don’t broadcast for jackals to steal. Also, if there is an issue you care deeply about and want to bring to the attention of the Daily Nation, I am your guy. Please inbox me.”
Sample some of the reactions from Kenyans on Facebook below:
Help us report stories that expose environmental degradation, deforestation, pollution, poaching and ivory trade, illegal fishing, dumping of toxic waste, e-waste and plastics, illegal mining, climate change and impacts of global warming on different sectors of the economy and communities, not only in Africa, but also across the globe. While traditional news reporting is losing its relevance, serious investigative journalism requires more than basic journalistic skills. To do this we require a lot of resources.

Nelson Mandela once said: “A critical, independent, and investigative press is the lifeblood of any democracy. The press must be free from state interference. It must have the economic strength to stand up to the blandishments of government officials. It must have sufficient independence from vested interests to be bold and inquiring without fear or favor. It must enjoy the protection of the constitution, so that it can protect our rights as citizens.”
If you like our journalism support us to continue bringing you groundbreaking and agenda setting stories.
