regard archive material as old. Yet archive material can be repackaged and
replayed after months even years (I like
what foreign media do with their archives) while Kenyan media have units on
almost all social subjects they score dismally on archival material which
inform our past and future in all almost all aspects. </div><div id="ecxyui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466661041786_131876"><br></div><div id="ecxyui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466661041786_131877">When it comes to archiving of content especially broadcast
some media houses are still grappling with the use of ICT’s. Media houses need a
policy on archived content (if lacking-KBC's is hazy and adhoc), if they have such a policy then obviously
it’s not functional and needs revamping. Individuals and institutions in need of
archived content (from media houses) have a difficult time accessing that
content even when they have the money to purchase and often forcd to resort to dubious
means to access. </div><div id="ecxyui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466661041786_131878">
