A community of financial journalists

Good financial journalism helps a nation understand its money, its markets and its future. FJSK exists to make that journalism stronger.

Our story

Financial JournalistsSociety of Kenya

FJSK is a professional community of journalists who report on business, finance and the economy. Our members work across newspapers, radio, television and digital newsrooms in every part of Kenya, and share a commitment to accurate, independent reporting.

Founded in 2021 by a small group of business editors in Nairobi, FJSK began as an informal network for sharing skills and story leads. It has since grown into a registered society that trains, connects and represents financial journalists nationwide.

We believe every Kenyan deserves clear, trustworthy reporting on the decisions that shape their money and their future.
