From Shaking Hands to Confident Bylines: My Transformative Journey at Nation Media Group

πŸ“°✨ Last month, May 2025, marked the culmination of a chapter from this great historic book of mine that I'm writing... I'm not used to such kind of long posts but I'm going to try today 'cause this journey deserves it! πŸ™ˆ When I first walked through the doors of Nation Media Group in February 2025, I carried with me years of preparation, passion for journalism, and a determination to make the most of this opportunity. As a graduate who has completed my Bachelor's in Journalism and Mass Communication with a focus on Electronic Media at Daystar University and is awaiting graduation in November 2025, I was finally stepping into one of East Africa's most prestigious media houses. The Reality Check: Workplace Dynamics Ain't for the Faint-Hearted The small small madharaus (the kawaida one mnakuanga mmewekea interns) - yes wewe, I see you! πŸ‘€ Those inward cries and wanting to burst into tears.  These hardships found in most workplaces have hardened me TWICE as muc...

WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER BECOMING AN ONLINE WRITER.

Online writing is steadily transforming the world through information sharing.

This new form of writing has greatly been enabled by technological advancements and implementation of the world wide web invented in the early 1990s.

Websites, blogs and channels have opened up the information space and today, one can easily access new knowledge at the click of the button or a swipe on the screen. This information discovery has been made possible by search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo, which categorises data and presents it to users on request. 

These developments have fuelled commercial content writing services, which many young people are engaged in, to generate income. 

As an upcoming online content  creator, I would like to share the benefits of online writing, and why you should consider it as a full-time job , a side hustle or a hobby.

First, you can do online writing anywhere and any time, wherever you feel comfortable -including in a hotel, on vacation or even from the comfort of your living room.

Tired of commuting to work? Online writing can help you say goodbye to matatus and traffic jam as it does not require the writer to go to the office.

Secondly, unlike other jobs that are limited to time and office hours, the only limit to online writing is how much cash you want to make. You only choose when it is convinient for you to pen your next article.

Unknown to many, online writing offers some sort of job security. You are your own boss, you set the pace and schedule. The only person who can terminate your contract is you when you choose to stop writing. Related, as an online writer, you are assured of a limitless salary unlike a regular job which comes with a fixed amount.

But there is a catch here: To make loads of cash, they need to put in long, extra hours and write more often, Additionally, I find online interesting because you choose which job to take.

Last but not the least, the internet is a repository of vast knowledge and you get to learn a lot as an online content creator.
