A forum was held for journalists from major newspapers, television networks, publishing houses, private film makers, other media people and radio stations. Brainstorming sessions, presentations and discussions were used to increase awareness and knowledge of how to effectively communicate the issues of public health. This group continued as a working network.

HIV/AIDS, other health issues

Kenya has a generally high rate of electronic and print media coverage in relation to the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa with a high potential, but not a high realization for communication of health issues. Forming this group and facilitating them as a network was an attempt to get better and more extensive coverage of health issues and information through mainstream and popular media.
