I'm wondering if there's some competition between this site and the Caroline-Mutoko-fueled Mpasho.co.ke. Anyway, this site offers probably exactly what you'd expect it to offer, only the latest hottest gossip making the rounds in Nairobi. But still, cliche gimmicks abound

This site subtly acknowledges that their Number 1. Priority is delivering entertainment news. If you need to get political and financial news, this might not be the best place to visit first. It even relegates non-entertainment news to the lower half of its home page.
But what it does, it does it well.

This site has some news stories you won't find anywhere else. It is also free of advertisements and pop=ups that normally clutter news sites of its kind. That aside, the site design is a little too dull and boring.

The site is very helpful in relation to the services that Safaricom offers. But Safaricom on its own still has a long way to go in terms of providing even satisfactory service to its customers. Perhaps the decades of market dominance that it has enjoyed are what allows it to abuse the pubic the way it does, but I feel there should be a serious competitor allowed to come in to save the consumers from Safaricom's dominance. Maybe Equity might just be Safaricom's match

Mpasho is an improvement on its affiliate the-star.co.ke.
Good stories, but not really much news. It would have done OK were it not for the same cliche gimmicks of "click through the top 10 reasons why blabla... number 7 will shock you".
It shouldn't matter at all that it is partly owned by the notorious spinster Caroline Mutoko

The Star would do well if only it improved on its self-esteem. They have the resources and talent to be the market leaders in the print media field, but they relegate themselves almost to the level of the bottom-level gutter press. They don't take themselves seriously enough. It is like they are torn between being political/national news reporters and being sports/entertainment reporters.
Even from their website it is often hard to tell what the leading headline is

You'd expect a more engaging site from a millennial who's dead center in her generation as Demi is. For a second there I thought I was in DJ Khaleed's homepage

It's all good that Ted DiBiase nowadays spends most of his time in charity work and social initiatives. But, given that only a handful of the current generation have ever actually heard of him, I just wish he'd give up this top level domain to some other entity that can put it to great use, no offense to the legend DiBiase

This site is all over the place. Can't even tell what it's about. Perhaps this is because of the confused career Jesse has had, first as a wrestler, then a mayor, then governor, and whatever else in between.

It is a little disappointing, but considering how long Mick has been out of the game, it comes as no surprise. At least he has his Bio info there for all his die-hard fans, and a few interview videos. But you can go through all the content in less than an hour

This site is filled with ads and promotions from unsolicited vendors and services remotely related to search

This site barely has anything to do with the artiste Frank Ocean. I doubted it was even his, until I scrolled all the way to the bottom

Mr Haggerty might be good at producing Grammy-winning records, but putting together a website isn't one of his strengths. Plus it presents him more as an activist than as an entertainer

A little disappointed that Warren didn't have any stuff from way back during his G Funk Era days. Now it's all about trying to promote mixtapes and releases that would be lucky if they even sold a hundred units

Anybody who didn't know Whitney was dead certainly would after visiting this site. There's barely any reason to hang around for more than a couple minutes. Besides just the content being plain out boring (no offence to the princess), everything about the site screams 20th Century

All this site does is promote Marshall Mather's latest album release. I've visited it numerous times before. Kind of a let down

My main man Jigga kind of disappointed on this one. I know this isn't exactly his domain, or an area he is keen on. But he really should have done better with his official online outlet to fans. This site is unbelievably boring and empty

Grammarly has let me down enough times. Cost me some good grades. Use with caution

This site is basically a joke

The quality of their reporting is fine. But their judgement in regards to which news story is superior and requiring of the top spot in the site is still wanting.
As expected, there is also a bias in reporting stories that are connected with Standard as a media house. For example, there is an entire section giving every minute detail regarding former TV anchor Louis Otieno's trial, yet national news like the resignation of ICC commissioners is given a small footnote.
News articles are also duplicated all over the home page. For example, there are 4 links to the Otieno trial all visible in the same screen frame, yet the content is identical.
In a way, StandardMedia will always play second-fiddle to Nation Media
