New Book Alert
KENYAN MEDIA MARKET REGULATION and PROGRAMMING DIVERSITY by Dr Haron Karanja Mwangi
The book examines the regulation of the Kenyan media market, focusing on how market structure, competitive behavior, journalistsโ conduct, and the financial performance of media houses shape the nature and diversity of content available to audiences. It provides a longitudinal and historical analysis of the development of the Kenyan media market, tracing its evolution from the monopoly of public service broadcasting to the dominance of private and commercial broadcasting. The book compellingly argues that a combination of both public and private media ownership has the potential to offer content that serves the public interest, even in a highly competitive environment. The study demonstrates the significant value of combining qualitative and quantitative content analysis with media economics and management models in studying the media market and applying methods for computing media market concentration, competition, and diversity performance.

Let's talk about sex:
What Is Kunyaza & How to Actually Do It
Author @Habeeb_Akande talks about
Putting Womenโs Pleasure First (squirting technique)
Kunyaza originated in Rwanda. It is a sexual practice centred around triggering female ejaculation and multiple orgasms in women. (Akande 2018). The tradition dates back more than a century to the Third Dynasty.
Kunyaza, also known as kachabali, is a traditional foreplay technique originating in Central Africa that has garnered international attention for its focus on the female orgasm.
The word Kunyaza is actually derived from the verb kunyaร ra, meaning โto urinateโ, but in a sexual context, weโre not literally talking about actual urine.

Can't seem to turn to the next page or even pick your book right back up? We've got a few tips for getting over that reading slump.
Check out these practical tips to get out of a reading slump.
1. ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฎ๐น๐น-๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฒ. One of the simplest remedies for a reading slump is to remember why you love reading in the first place. Let your favourite title help spark your curiosity once again.
Rereading can also take the pressure off finishing a book since you have already completed all of its pages beforeโthus, rereading can simply be about taking pleasure from a well-known story or visiting your character's friends.
2. ๐๐ผ๐น๐น๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐. Sometimes itโs hard to decide what book to pick up next. There can be too many options from your TBR pile or just too many recommendations that itโs hard to keep up. Maybe some structure can help you get out of your slump. How about following a reading prompt or challenge?
3. ๐ฆ๐๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ต ๐๐ฝ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐. Maye, one of the reasons why you are having a hard time concentrating is because of the distractions around you? Try to take โmeโ time: taking a break from your usual routine to make way for uninterrupted and intentional reading. Even just 30 minutes of reading each day can help establish the reading routine again.
4. ๐๐ผ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฎ ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ ๐ฐ๐น๐๐ฏ. Being able to talk about books with dedicated and like-minded readers might get you excited again. Likewise, a reading deadline could also be the answer to getting rid of your slump.
5. ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐ฎ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ. If you find it overwhelming to commit to finishing a book, you could start choosing titles that are less intimidating. Pick a novella or short story to help you rekindle your passion for reading.
6. ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐น๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฎ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ฟ๐ฒ. Try getting out of your comfort zone and pick a genre unfamiliar to you. If you mostly read romance or fiction, we recommend exploring non-fiction or poetry. Who knows? The switch might surprise you and be the answer you are looking for.
Graphic Novels can be a good way to jumpstart your reading since theyโre not so text-heavy. It can be refreshing to read something that provides visual storytelling.
7. ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐๐ฝ ๐ฎ ๐๐ถ๐๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ต๐ผ๐ฟ. It might be helpful to find a go-to author since reading their other works will feel like you are in comfortable territory. Reading something from a familiar author can make the reading experience go smoother as you tend to already know their style and themes โ this can make it easier for you to dive into their narratives.
8. ๐๐๐ธ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐ฒ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐. Itโs nice to hear from people who have been there and have done that. Try asking for other bibliophilesโ title recommendations โ books that have helped them get out of their own slump.
9. ๐ง๐ฟ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฎ๐๐ฑ๐ถ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ. Feeling like your eyes are swimming when you try to focus on a page? You donโt have to force yourself to read. An audiobook could save the day! Listening to a book might be the easy reentry to reading your brain needs now. @NuriaStore

10. ๐๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐น๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ถ๐๐๐๐ฒ. The problem might go beyond a reading slump. Some donโt forget to check in with yourself and your mental health. Stress can be a huge factor in why your brain refuses to read. Take a break if you really need toโฆ The reading goal can wait
