At the Kenya Times, you will work within a staff about 30 excluding those involved in its press unit and circulation.

The Kenya Times is one of Kenya's mainstream newspapers. The paper's headquarters is situated at the capital's city centre. Kenya Times like all credible media houses in Kenya and Africa as a whole has stood the test of time having been there at a time when the press freedom in the country was minimal.

The paper has over the years been one of the highly rated daily in terms of sales, making it a household name across the country and by far, the region. At the Kenya Times, you will work within a staff about 30 excluding those involved in its press unit and circulation.

A volunteer could get involved in the research and writing of news articles on national news, environmental issues, business, politics, and sports, among other subjects. Those interested in special or specific subjects in the wide reportage menu are given the chance to experiment their skills in addition to sharpening them by requesting a readily grantable attachment to the desk of interest.

For instance, should one develop interest in business reporting, a volunteer could switch and help at the business desk. This will include attending business press functions, taking pictures in case one is not assigned a camera man and filing the story for either the daily business pages or the weekly analytical pullout.

Other desks include that of News, where political issues are addressed, Features where one is given the chance to get creative with both language and story ideas. All this desks including sports have special designated pages. This means that a placement at the newspaper will give a chance to publish as many stories as possible.

With proper focus and creativity, a volunteer is able to fly back home with more than 30 bylines under his or her own belt in a single month.
