The aim of this forum is to advance the study, research and publication of knowledge in the communications and journalism fields initially in Kenya but later it was extended to embrace professionals and practitioners in the whole East African region. It currently covers the countries of Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Ethiopia, and South Sudan.
