Renowned author Prof Ngugi wa Thiong’o arrived and addressed Kenyan readers during the launch of his book Kenda Muiyuru by the East Africa Educational Publishers at the Kenya National Theatre. [File, Standard]

In 1988, I began leafing through The Standard and other dailies, especially because my father bought them religiously.

It was, however, the magazines that truly captivated me—their bold cover designs, striking layouts, and sharp political commentary. The Weekly Review by Hilary Ng’weno, The Society by Bedan Mbugua, Nairobi Law Monthly by Gitobu Imanyara, and Finance by Njehu Gatabaki particularly impressed me.
