A right to media freedom and my safety as a journalist

While the media industry is growing very fast, media freedom is still limited. On average, every four days, a journalist is killed for bringing information to the public. Reporter Caroline Katana interviews Mercy Kahenda, a journalist at Standard Media Group who experienced threats when trying to cover a story in Kenya.

This story is part of the African Women in Media (AWiM) Peace and Security Journalism Programme in partnership with UNESCO, through the IPDC framework.
