BBC World Service - The Cultural Frontline, Kenya's TV Shutdown: What Comes Next?

What's the future for Kenyan media following the government shutdown of TV stations.

Following the shutdown of three of Kenya’s largest TV channels we speak to Godfrey Mwampembwa, aka Gado, the creator of the hit Kenyan satirical show XYZ and hear his thoughts on the relationship between the Kenyan government and the media. 

We speak to the feminist, environmentalist and pop cultural icon Pamela Anderson about her campaigning for Wikileaks and how she views feminism in the age of the #timesup and #metoo movements.

The Oscar winning screenwriter of Spotlight and The Post, Josh Singer and the journalist and novelist Jonathan Freedland talk about why journalism continues to inspire classic drama. 

Plus we speak to a superstar and a super fan of Marvel’s Black Panther ahead of the release of the blockbuster superhero movie.

Presented by Tina Daheley
