%0 Journal Article %T NEW ACTORS IN JOURNALISTIC PRACTICE: THE CASE OF A KENYAN RADIO STATION %J - %D 2017 %X Abstract %K This study interrogates changes that have developed with the incorporation of digital technologies in journalistic practice at a commercial radio station in Kenya. Prior research on journalism in Kenya had focused on print or multi-platform news organizations leading to a paucity of scholarship on exclusively broadcast outlets. Past studies of the usage of digital tools in newsrooms had also tended towards techno-deterministic or socio-constructivist theoretical approaches. The socio-technical approach used in this study considered human and material actors as having equal agency %K thus extending the theoretical understanding of African journalistic practice. In the findings %K the study established the entry of new actors and shifts in role centrality in contemporary journalistic practice. %U https://www.ajol.info/index.php/jolte/article/view/162206
