Radio Africa Group Digital Editor Set to Join Nation Media Group

Journalist Oliver Mathenge has confirmed his exit from Radio Africa Group where he has been working as a Digital Editor.

He is scheduled to start his new job at Nation Media Group (NMG) in December this year.

“I have been receiving so many questions. Yes, after 9 fantastic years, I will be leaving Radio Africa Group at the end of November. At a later date, I will discuss more about what I will be doing next at Nation Media Group,” tweeted Mathenge.

Mathenge has worked at Radio Africa for nine years and has held the position of Group Digital Editor for 5 years.

He will be replaced by Francis Mureithi, a seasoned journalist with over 15 years in the media space. He has over the years worked in different spheres of journalism including Court and Parliament. He has also been responsible for leading the newsroom as News Editor for the last five years.

In his new role as Group Digital Editor, Mureithi will oversee growth plans across all Radio Africa digital assets. He will also look to increase numbers and create products especially audio-visual content.

Mureithi holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Languages and Media Studies from Moi University and later attained a Master’s Degree in International Conflict Management from the University of Nairobi.

Currently, Mureithi is pursuing a Master of Arts degree in Digital Journalism at the Aga Khan University Graduate School of Media and Communications.
