Experienced journalist Tom Japanni has announced his exit from Standard Media Group, where he has been working for at least a decade.
Mr. Japanni who was heading Radio at SG, joined the media company back in 2013 from BBC and has since achieved remarkable success with the radio stations attached to the company.
“IT’S A WRAP. PREPPING FOR A NEW SEASON. A NEW CALLING,” reads a social media post announcing the exit, seen by BRK.
Mr. Japanni started his career working at a Mombasa Catholic Church as a media trainee, he wrote articles, edited church programs and recorded services.
He later landed his first broadcast job at Mombasa’s Baraka FM, where he also met his wife, Massawe Japanni. Tom was a presenter at the station’s breakfast show while Massawe was an intern producer.
