Today, Akothee didn’t have time to waste, so she responded immediately to news stories posted by Citizen TV on their social media channels.
Citizen TV had reported that Charles Kipkong, the deputy governor of Baringo, had gone dead suddenly while waiting to catch an aircraft to Mombasa from JKIA.
Reportedly, Mr. Kipkong had breathing problems and passed away just minutes before boarding.
To hide the occurrence, Citizen TV used a stock photo of planes parked on the JKIA runway when they broadcasted the story.
The use of JKIA’s profile picture in articles about tragic events is deeply offensive to Akothee.
According to Akothee, the picture Citizen TV used was the same one they typically use when reporting on the company’s successes, suggesting that the network had inappropriately employed a favorable image for a less positive story.
She claimed that Citizen TV had ruined JKIA’s reputation by using an unflattering photograph on the broadcast.
I’m curious as to your thoughts on this. Should Akothee be excused for her petty behavior, or should Citizen TV apologize for damaging JKIA’s reputation? Instagram is the original source.
