USIU-Africa library wins top award

By Dr. Sylvia Ogola

The USIU-Africa Library and Information Center won the Knowledge Ambassadors Best User Institution Award during the 5th Emerald Knowledge Ambassadors Workshop and Competition held at the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture & Technology.

USIU-Africa, which was also awarded a cash prize of R2000, recorded the highest usage statistics in the country despite its relatively smaller size. The competition, which was sponsored by Emerald Publishers, brought together over 100 students from nineteen universities across the country. The workshop themed, “Ethics in Education”, sought to curb plagiarism as well as promote the use of electronic resources in research.

USIU-Africa students already held a trophy for the Best Presentation, which was awarded to them at the 4th Emerald Knowledge Ambassadors Workshop in 2016, where they were lauded for their innovativeness and creativity in promoting the use of electronic resources.

The USIU-Africa Library & Information Center subscribes to electronic databases through the Kenya Libraries and Information Services Consortium (KLISC)

which currently has over 100 member institutions.

Emerald is one of the electronic databases that is highly used by the USIU-Africa community. Indeed, for the last five years, the university has been on the list of top five of institutions with the highest usage of Emerald electronic resources.

The publisher has for the last five years held an annual workshop and competition bringing together university students who showcase how they use electronic resources and the impact it has on their studies.

Speaking during the workshop, Emerald Publishing Business Manager, Soji Koledade, said Emerald recognizes that associations, universities and organizations strive to highlight quality and breadth of research undertaken in the society. He urged the universities through the libraries to create awareness of the use of e-resources and also improve libraries’ responsiveness to researchers’ information needs.

With 50 years' experience, Emerald manages a portfolio of over 300 journals, well over 2500 book titles, and over 1500 case studies. The competition coincided with their golden anniversary, in supporting education and research worldwide.

social media platform to use and proposed POST (People, Objective, Strategies and technology) as a roadmap in developing a social media strategy.

Mr. Kaigwa was listed as one of Forbes Africa’s 30 under 30 Best Young Entrepreneurs in Africa in 2013. “The default device in Africa is the mobile phone where a population of only 350 million has access to the internet,” he said.

Mr. Mandela, who in his words ‘bumped into social media’, shared his journey to fame through social media and also imparted advice on how to build a brand, emphasizing on the importance of being relevant offline and making offline relationships worthwhile.

“The best place to network is at events,” he said as he encouraged his audience to offer free business services to gain brand visibility, as well as the need for consistency in order to develop one’s brand.

Mr. Mandela has won several awards including the Best Twitter Personality in Africa in 2015, the Best Facebook profile in Africa in 2016 and the second Most Influential Twitter Personality in Africa in the Africa Bloggers Awards.

Faculty publishes paper on perceptions of media freedom and job autonomy

4

A research paper by Dr. Kioko Ireri, Associate Professor of Journalism and Mass Communication, has been published in the current issue of African Journalism Studies – Africa’s leading journal in the field of journalism and mass communication. The paper – “Job Autonomy: How Kenyan Newspeople Perceive Their Journalistic Latitudes” – examines job autonomy in news selection decision, media freedom, media freedom-job autonomy relationship, and predictors of journalistic autonomy.

journalists have more freedoms than those who are younger and limited in work experience. Journalists with advanced education (doctoral and MA degree holders), those employed on full-time basis, and high monthly earners enjoy more job autonomy. Kenyan journalists working for international media organizations reported far higher autonomy than those in the local media. Job satisfaction and job security emerged as the strongest predictors of journalistic autonomy in the Kenyan media.

Findings show that over half (59%) of respondents believe that there is enough media freedom in Kenya.

Similarly, there is a positive correlation between media freedom and journalistic autonomy—a relationship though moderate is statistically significant.

The study is based on a national representative sample of 504 journalists drawn from 62 media outlets in Kenya.

The research paper is one of the ten variables that Dr. Ireri examined in his Indiana University- Bloomington doctoral dissertation – “Constructing A Portrait of Kenyan Journalists In The 21st Century: Demographics, Job Satisfaction, Influences On News Values and Autonomy, And Standards of Journalism Training”. Five other paper papers have been published in Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, Journal of Media Ethics, Journalism, Journalism Practice, and Journalism & Mass Communication Educator.

While four in 10 Kenyan journalists have “some freedom” in deciding what to include in news, only 15.5% enjoy “almost complete freedom,” and 31.7% have “a great deal of freedom.” When analyzed by demographics and work-related variables, male journalists reported higher autonomy than their female colleagues. Older and more experienced

USIU-Africa places second in international rugby tourney

By Dan Muchai & Antonio Longangi

The USIU-Africa’s male Rugby Team emerged second in the international edition of the King of Rugby Tournament this Sunday, October 8 at Maseno University in Kisumu. The team lost to the University of Johannesburg 24-14, with Mike Kimwele and Joe Awori scoring a try each, with were then converted by Charles Kuka.

The loss caps an otherwise stellar campaign which began Saturday, October 7 when they beat Technical University of Mombasa (24-19), followed by Multimedia University (30-nil). to propel them to the quarter-finals against Daystar University. The squeezed through with a slim 7-5 margin to face Mount Kenya University, whom they defeated 21-19 to proceed to the final.

According to the team captain Junior Onyango, they were quite happy to prove its naysayers wrong, advancing through the tournament without a single loss. “In Kisumu, even though the crowd was pulling for the University of Johannesburg, I was so proud that my team and I represented USIU-Africa and Kenya so successfully, and against such a superior team.”

The team intents to donate some of the KES75000 winners earnings to a charity of their choice, later this semester, in line with one of the university’s core values of service to the community.

Back in July, the team lifted the Kenya Universities Sports Association Rugby League trophy with a 13-point gap between them and Kenyatta University.

The team attributes its success to the strength and conditioning program and their coach’s determination to nurture young talent. This is especially important given that the team lost members who graduated this Fall as members of the Class of 2017.

Anticipating this loss, the team recruited five new freshmen from the Class of 2021, who already had previous experience at high school level.
