Joseph Odindo: A Lesson In How The Teacher Ended Up On The Receiving End Of A Hard Lesson

Joseph Odindo is a one-man masterclass in the art of good journalism. A self-taught journalist, he has worked in the profession for decades, rising through the ranks to earn the title all upwardly-mobile journalists covet: Group Editorial Director. He served in this role at The Standard Group, and has also served as Editorial Director at the Nation Media Group.

And yet, despite his vast knowledge of the profession, he will never forget the one day he made the decision to carry a particular picture on page 1 of the Daily Nation… and nearly lost his job in the aftermath of what the entire country determined was 'the worst decision the newspaper ever made."

Press play to hear his story.
