Kenya SCORES: Individual scores: 1,1,1,1,2,1,1,1,1,1,1 Average score: 1.1 2.6 The editorial independence of print media published by a public authority is protected adequately against undue political interference. There is no print media published by a public authority in Kenya. Therefore this indicator does not apply. 2.7 Local and regional independent news agencies gather and distribute information for all media. ANALYSIS: The Kenya News Agency (KNA) is government controlled. There are no independent news agencies that gather and disseminate news as their core commercial business. There are, however, quite a number of non-commercial agencies such as the Inter Press Service (IPS), Africa.com and PANOS. Their offerings seem to be regarded as fairly adequate and newspapers regularly use stories from these agencies.
