Citizen Digital

Crosswire lists Citizen Digital as Center within Kenya's media spectrum — the grouping it uses both for genuinely centrist titles and for outlets the major media-bias assessments do not place consistently on one side.

Read Citizen Digital beside another title from Kenya and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Broadcast newsrooms build around what can be shown and who can be booked, so Citizen Digital's online front page tends to track its on-air running order — watch which stories carry video and which are text-only. Because Citizen Digital is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning title from Kenya either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
