The foundation of any healthy democracy rests on the public’s access to accurate, fair, and unbiased information. As Kenya approaches its next electoral cycle, the media’s role in safeguarding this foundation has never been more critical. On Friday, September 5, 2025, The Youth Café hosted a crucial webinar titled, “Ethical Journalism and Election Integrity,” bringing together journalists, editors, press associations, and civic educators to dissect the challenges and responsibilities facing newsrooms today.
The Youth Cafe and Africa Check Collaborated for the 'Scam Slam' Campaign, a Comprehensive Media Literacy Campaign
Launched in September 2023, the "Scam Slam" campaign is a testament to The Youth Cafe and Africa Check’s dedication to enhancing public awareness, especially among the youth. We believe equipping our youth with a solid understanding of financial literacy concepts is crucial. "Scam Slam" entails a variety of vital topics - from recognising and establishing one’s financial values, understanding the profound effects of advertising, and providing indispensable financial advice for young adults to shedding light on effective job-search strategies. More importantly, we've focused heavily on empowering individuals with the knowledge to recognise, avoid, and react appropriately to online scams and dubious financial information.
