The Kenyan media industry has been a big victim of massive redundancies witnessed across the board, some that ended in tears, while some only opened doors for bigger, better opportunities.<\/p>\n

Nation Media Group-owned TV station, NTV is the newest kid on the block when you talk of mass firings, one that cost its prime professionals their jobs.<\/p>\n

However, soon as the exit came to a close, sources reveal that NTV’s senior Kiswahili news anchor, Salim Swaleh has been promoted as managing editor of the station’s Swahili desk.<\/p>\n

Swaleh’s new managerial position comes in the wake of restructuring of departments as NTV preps to adapt a new business model as earlier on stated by NMG Group CEO, Stephen Gitama.<\/p>\n

This will require re-tooling and resourcing the group with relevant skill sets critical for success in the new business environment. Regrettably, this will result in a reduction of our workforce effective Friday, July 3, 2020.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
