Host:
This research content analyzes 2,794 news articles in four leading newspapers to compare variables that predicted the coverage of Kenya governors and senators between 2013 and 2017—within the theoretical perspectives of coverage based on “news values” and “mirror of political reality.” Findings show the strongest predictors for governors’ coverage are commenting on devolution and corruption topics, while senators’ visibility is determined by criticizing national government—all under “mirror of political reality” reporting.
