Kenyan journalists have been urged to shift reporting trends and focus more on constructive journalism, rather than normal problem-based reporting.
Zhang Yangiu, a professor at Communication University of China, on Wednesday said constructive journalism gives stories more context and makes the consumer of the news more intelligent.
Speaking to a group of journalists attending the ongoing China-Kenya seminar at the Research and Training Institute, National Radio and TV Administration in Beijing, Ms Yanqiu said that instead of solely reporting on conflicts and problems, Constructive journalism aims to gain a more comprehensive portrayal of the issues at hand.
