Do you like the new look Nation newspaper?

Just like the time SK became wazua, this one will also take some time getting used to for me.

The problem with these Kenyan newspapers has never been the outlook. It is the quality of reporting, features and general content e.t.c Look at magazines like Times or The Economist-have retained form but people still buy because of content. NMG, Standard et al. can do all the cosmetic bluffs they can but anytime I look at the journalists sent to cover news at a company event or other events, I believe nothing meaningful will ever come out of those houses-This said, I need to point out out that some good journalists exist but- or rather that I have read some nice work. The strength of any chain is actually its weakest link. The sooner they get rid of those mangoes in the news gathering teams and editorial desks, the better.

The fonts are larger, and easier to the eye. At least they didn't turn it upside down like the other guys did.

Its normal for human beings to resist every new thing. You will get used to it.BTW BBC also changed their presentation in their website.

The look is not so bad but i like the new watchman column, i really never got used to the one they had adopted. While we are at it, there was a time i thought i had figured out Clay Muganda and then i got mixed up in the middle. I like his critisism but the person behind the pen is hard to know.

The problem with Nation is its got a lot of 'initial' hype but eventually loses its punch in the long haul.

Remember Saturday, Zuqka, Money...?
They hit the scene with a bang, held kidogo, and eventually fizzled.

Time will tell if they're in for keeps or if it is just a marketing gimmick to boost fledgling sales.
