Earth Journalism Media Workshop On Air Pollution In Nairobi, Kenya 2024. Internews’ Earth Journalism Network (EJN) is extending an invitation to journalists in Nairobi County, Kenya to take part in a media workshop centered around the issue of air pollution in Nairobi. This two-day workshop is designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of local journalists, empowering them to effectively report on air pollution and contribute to greater public awareness regarding its sources, impacts, and potential solutions in Nairobi.
