His Highness the Aga Khan was a transformative figure whose influence on East Africa’s media landscape spanned over six decades. As a media founder, he championed independent journalism, education, and pluralism—values that remain pillars of our industry today.
Through the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), he empowered media institutions to inform and uplift communities. His commitment to responsible storytelling celebrated diversity, nurtured pluralism, and elevated journalism’s role in building better societies.
We at Next Media join our colleagues at Nation Media Group and the broader media fraternity in honoring the immense contributions of His Highness. His legacy of excellence serves as a guiding light, reminding us that journalism is more than just delivering news—it is a tool for shaping a better, more inclusive world.
Rest in peace, Your Highness. Your vision will continue to inspire generations.
