Founded by His Highness the Aga Khan in 1960, the Nation Media Group (NMG) has its origins in Kenya’s Taifa and Nation newspapers, which were set up to provide independent voices during the years just preceding the country’s independence. In recent years, the Group has expanded its operations into Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda. It has established itself as the region’s leading media group, with investments in print and electronic media across East Africa. NMG is quoted on the Nairobi Stock Exchange.
Majority-owned and run by East Africans, the Group’s operations include English and Kiswahili national newspapers, a regional weekly, several radio and television stations and a strong presence in digital media. It has diversified into magazines, directories, publishing and courier services. NMG's market share dominance is underpinned by state-of-the-art printing technology, investment in professional development and a highly-subscribed internet presence.
In Kenya, Nation Newspapers publishes the Daily and Sunday Nation and Taifa newspapers as well as the Business Daily and a regional weekly, The EastAfrican. In Uganda, Monitor Publications Limited publishes the Daily, Saturday and Sunday Monitor.
In Tanzania, Mwananchi Communications Limited publishes three dailies, Mwananchi and Mwanaspoti, in Swahili, and The Citizen in English.
NMG has also expanded to Rwanda, with The EastAfrican and Rwanda Today.
On the broadcast front, NMG operates television outlets NTV and QTV in Kenya, and in Uganda NTVU, as well as Spark TV, dedicated to women. NMG’s radio outlets include Easy FM in Kenya, and KFM and Dembe FM in Uganda. A variety of news and commercial web sites have also been created, in both English and Swahili.
NMG’s most recent digital brand, Nation.Africa, delivers quality content from across the continent, continuing NMG’s policy of promoting independent voices, diversity and freedom of expression.
